A new japanese pattern book

Published on August 3, 2010 in Sewing Japanese. 8 Comments Tags: japanese pattern books, sewing japanese, sewing with japanese pattern books.

I got this new Japanese sewing book the other week. I have no idea what the title is – if anybody out there is actually able to read Japanese and could translate it – I’d be soooo greatful. Nonchalant sweet clothes – stylishly fun best times – Thanks Liz for helping me out ! ISBN978-4-579-11300-2. I love so many things about this book: There are pant and short patterns in it, a parka silhouette, a couple of jackets and beautiful tops. I already made the striped top (third picture below) but didn’t pre-wash the fabric. I’ll post about it soon.

Sewing Japanese – sew fun!

Six Gals, three evenings a two hours, one passion: Sewing with Japanese patterns.

Last week the sewing japanese class at Modern Domestic had it’s final gathering but one of many japanese sewing circles are sure to follow. At the end, everybody had at least one (muslin) garment, some tackled and conquered even more and proudly wore them to class night!

Lots of fun and laughter and awesome people!

Some blogged results are to be seen here and here.

And could you have thought about a japanese sewing night without some Sake?

Well one thing is for sure – I do not master my camera yet. Maybe it’s because of all the excitement, but I didn’t really get any decent pics out of the night. Note to myself: If unsure – go into automatic mode…:)
