I got a new order from Hokkiado. Little Eito loves the Toy Story, especially Buzz Lightyear! His mum loves clear colors in a Swedish style… see what I made out of it with a lot of zig zag and applique stitching ***

Knit-Dress and Beanie
This is a new little dress, that I made for girls aged 2-3. Little pockets and the bias tapes as colorful details give the wool a fresh touch.
One from Two
It’s sometimes tricky to dress a kid …. when the sun is out, clothes shouldn’t be too warm, but then it get’s all over sudden really cool. The next days are cold in the morning, but warmer in the afternoons… and it’s still not cold enough for really warm down-filled jackets and padded pants. Our…
Kid’s Winter Collection
It’s getting cold in Tokyo, today is pooring rain. Time for some warmer shirts and bloomers for the kindergarden.

My daughter’s kindergarden asked all mothers to make a doll! Of course I felt obliged to make something that she likes to hug….ha! Very difficult was the topic to create a friendly face. Here are some of my trials on paper, before I could decide how to stitch it on (and even that made me…
Voila! Another Bag
I just got the order for another kindergarden bag… something that I really enjoy! It’s like painting a picture by fabric. I finished a rocket and universe bag some weeks ago and the new order was to create a bag with the image of a rainbow. I thought it’s pretty cute, if notes tinkle the kid’s…
Hat and Vest for cool days
I made a new hat for my daughter, which should work fine for the very sunny but slightly cooler autumn days in Tokyo. It’s sewn from 6 triangles with bises of the flower fabric that I also used for her vest. The front shade has denim on the top and flower fabric on the bottom…
Halloween at Yoyogikoen
There was a little Halloween Party at Yoyogikoen on Sunday. I rushed and made a very quick spooky ghost costume with a shiny hat.
