The Love for Japanese Sewing Patterns
I have been in love with the Japanese aesthetic, sewing patterns and all their lovely craftiness since 2007, when I bought my first two Japanese sewing mooks (crafty books with recipes, or instructions if you prefer). By that time I also started to buy Japanese fabrics, specially cotton and linen blends with kawaii prints. Since that my love for all things Japanese sewing & crafty related has grown.
I knew I was not alone and over the last couple of years I was able to find lots of other people that share the same passion for Japanese sewing patterns and aesthetic. That was when my lovely friend Monica, who blogs over Adirondack Inspired, and I joined to create a Facebook group where we could all share our Japanese makings and help each other out with... the Japanese wrinting. :) Fortunately there are already several books translated to English but the vast majority is still in Japanese.
So, this week a bunch of Japanese sewing pattern lovers from all over the world (Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, Portugal, UK, Spain and Japan!) are joining together on a tour to show you lots of kids and women clothes made out of Japanese patterns!
