japanese sewing books and more crafting

These japanese sewing books came in the mail this week! I love almost all the patterns.

Something I've heard about japanese sewing books is that the patterns don't have seam allowances. So I have to make sure to allow for that when I'm cutting out the pieces.

Here are a few pictures; more photos can be found on flickr.

I made this matching child's apron and mitten set. It's going in my etsy shop. I used an adorable kitchen canvas fabric from superbuzzy!
