every day life

Little sneak peak of my new sewing room and what I’ve been working on.. I love my new sewing room! It has high sealing and is next to a big window, and right now I get a nice breeze from it when I sew at night. I still need to organize and decorate the room.

I went to fabric shopping last week, and got different fall fabrics. I got satin in eggplant color, black jersey and lace. I also got a thick knit fabric in gray, which I’m going to make a poncho/cape out of. Can’t wait to work on it, but right now, I really got a finish the orders I have right now:(

I tried to haggle with a guy at the fabric shop in Nippori, and quickly learned that haggling doesn’t fly in Japan. He was just irritated by it! Of course, I didn’t get any deal. ha.

Also got a great deal on invisible zippers at the store across from Tomato (not sure the name, sorry). They were 3 for 100 yen (about 85 cents!).

Happy Labor Day! Hope everyone had a nice long weekend:) My husband and I went to a beach in Yokosuka, a place called “Jyogasaki”. It wasn’t what you usually think of a “beach”, because there was no sand, but all rocks. It was nice because my stuff didn’t get covered in sand.

We swam..

Dived into water..

And ate at a local shop.

Stitch n Bitch with Kayo from Crochetie, or her shop, Emorie.
We live very close now, so we get together weekly to work on small projects together, show our new findings (great online resources and shops), drink coffee or tea and sometimes just chat.
Unfortunately, I’m moving next week to south of Tokyo. I’ll miss stich and bitch with her!

I’m posting a sneak peak of what we do at the coffee shop… I’m terribly embarrassed to see my self talk and giggle..
