It’s a linen skirt for fall. It’s really long! Is it too long?? (We found her hat from last winter while we were packing. I think it makes the outfit.)

It’s three in the morning here in Kochi. I haven’t posted much this week because I have been busy with a sewing project. We have a big party to go to tomorrow, and I decided that I would make a dress for Saya to wear. I often get a bit overambitious with my projects, and [...]

The boys were dressed alike with tunics and striped pants. They looked so comfortable and cute, and Saya already had [...]

I finally finished this school bag that I have been working on for Sakura’s birthday. This isn’t the best picture, but I am really happy with the way it turned out. I used scraps of different floral print fabrics for the decoration. You can see a more detailed shot here.

I have been learning to sew recently, and last week I actually went out of the house wearing something that I made. I am a little bit shy about showing this, but I think it’s not so bad for my first attempt at making something like this. I was busy sewing [...]
I have really been getting into sewing lately. I am teaching myself, mostly by studying the pictures in Japanese sewing books. I made Saya a little jumper using this cute elephant-print fabric. There are more pictures on our Flickr page too.
