Cool Fabrics from Japan

Didn't expect to be on such a long sewing hiatus...long story, but I finally got a chance today to sew. This is an Oliver and S Class Picnic top in Kokka double gauze. One of my favorite, most used patterns. And, double gauze is just yummy. . . . #oliverands #classpicnictop #kokkafabric #kokkadoublegauze #japanesefabric #doublegauze #urbansewfabricshop #sewingforkids #sewingforgirls

My older daughter....off to a wedding with a Nina Wristlet I made her! The fabric is an older line from @cloud9fabrics that I still love! . . #sotakpatterns #sotakhandmade #ninawristlet #cloud9fabrics #bagineer #handmadepouch #urbansewfabricshop

So....panties, undies, knickers, bloomers....whatever you call them, it's in your interest to make them...if you have bins of leftover knit fabric that you've been hoarding away (like me!). This is the Pixie pattern from @simplelifepatterns - I tried all versions to see which worked best for my kid. As it turns out, she liked the "briefs" version best. Also, I recommend you look on Etsy and buy foldover elastic in bulk...as opposed to those little packages at the big box fabric store. I seriously will never buy my kid undies again! . . #slpcopixie #sewistsofinstagram #sewingforkids #sewingforgirls #handmadeundies #handmadepanties #slpco

One more Annex Double Zip pouch using Japanese fabric from the shop. I may now be addicted to this pattern.... . . . #annexdoublezipboxpouch #sewsweetnesspattern #sewsweetness #kokkafabric #japanesefabric #urbansewfabricshop #bagineer #bagmaker #handmadepouch

I tried a new pattern, with fabric from the shop that I couldn't resist. This is the Annex Double Zip Box Pouch, from @sewsweetness - super-interesting construction...fun to sew! Cork fabric which we will have on the site soon, as soon as we sort out the mailing! This handle was my first time sewing with cork...used a regular needle, longer stitch length. Definitely adds a nice touch. . . #annexdoublezipboxpouch #sewsweetnesspattern #kokkafabric #japanesefabric #urbansewfabricshop #bagineer #bagmaker #corkfabric
