knit dress & cardigan

I made this dress from wool knit fabric.

 

and this cardigan from the rest fabric piece.

The front part is wet with water to erase marks...

****************

I made this cookie house using MUJI kit. 

It was a little difficult ,but a big fun!

Work Coat

I did it! This had been left aside for long after cutting...

This pattern is from FEMALE( japanese sewing magzine), and the publisher Boutique-sha has started to sell PDF patterns online and each of them is only 263yen. How cheap!　HERE

But they have no instructions, so we have to buy a magazine as well if you need. 

And to download them, you need to register as a member of rakuten.

 

I changed the sleeve pattern because it was too tight for me.... 

I changed the hight of the sleeve to make sleeve wider.

Actually, it was my first experience to use a open zipper. That was quite easy than I expected! 

This vertical zipper is a dammy....^-^

I added a adorable deer charm on zipper.

KOTO

I do love things and cultures proper to Japan. Foods, language, manners, arts, wears...and music!

As I have posted before, I have played the Koto which is one of the Japanese musical instruments since I was a small child.
I love not only playing it, but also listening to that sound. That beautiful tone always relaxes me...



I hope you all also like them! ^3^

Mashiko Cearmic Market & Shop Information

I went to Mashiko Ceramic Market last Saturday. Mashiko is a small town that is very famous for ceramics wears 'Mashiko-yaki' , and a big market is held twice a year on May and November.

Mashiko is only two hours by car from Tokyo,  so many many people gather there every time.

I heard more than 350,000 people in 5 days this time!

Many people from foreign countries also were enjoying the market. ^-^

I love Mashiko very much.... full of beautiful natures, scenary unchanged since olden times, delicious food, and of course wonderful ceramics...
