Marie' just got back from her sister's wedding in Japan. For months leading up to it we've been carefully planning online orders of fabric and patterns that would only ship within Japan. What a super friend she was to make so much room for me in her suitcase! And her sister was just as kind to go through the hassle of ordering it all at the same time as planning a wedding.
The fabrics themselves don't look so spectacular in the photo but they have a beautiful buttery feel that will certainly be a joy to sew and wear. Included in this pile are the following fabrics: triple gauze, double gauze, lawn, linen cotton blends and quilted knit.
The patterns are from a company called shell button and I'll have to wait for Marie' to share the links because I have a whole bookmark folder full of Japanese sites that I can't make sense of.
But my goal this year is to do more adult sewing so I ordered these three for myself (quilted jacket, empire knit dress, and button up shirt dress) - I will post them after I have lost baby weight and found time for proper fitting and sewing. That means I'll be lucky to have them ready to post before 2011.
