Japanese Sewing

I got this sewing magazine from the Japan Centre on one of my recent visits to London.

A lot of garments and bag patterns, but obviously completely in Japanese, 

I have just enough to get through.

I constructed a linen shirt in an afternoon with a navy crepe linen from Fabrics Galore.

Here it is after a hard day at The Festival of Quilts,  sporting my new pin from Ernest Wright and a freshly made Ankara tote.

I think this is my favourite of my latest patterns, eye poppingly bright verging on deco.

I also like this one

and this one, well I did choose them all of course!
