~ Japanese Sewing Books have such a beautiful aesthetic feel to them ... I love many of the free flowing designs... the way they are tailored to offer a loose , comfortable design , yet with little feminine touches like added lace and felting details
~ I am not very well versed in sewing to a pattern or following a design ... but I am hoping to learn a little more this year -- giggle and i am starting out with patterns that are written in japanese ...
~ However all the japanese craft books are beautifully illustrated, with lots of step by step details that make it easy to follow the instructions by visuals alone ...
~ For my first project I have decided to take a linen/cotton blend trouser ( pants) that I already own and alter the length to make it suit the style I like. I am adding a cotton lace edging trim for a delicate touch
~ i you like to take a look at the japanese sewing magazine pochee no 7 and how i altered my pants...
take a peek at the little video
