Here is a selection of the great projects that the Sewing Circle students have sewn during their classes!
A Skirt – it can’t be more simple
One of my new students bought a skirt 7 years ago in Australia. Since then she wore it days and nights, Winters and Summers and got many nice comments on it… 7 years makes even the best fabric a bit worn out and so she wanted to re-make it! We managed to copy the pattern…
A long A-Line Skirt
This beautiful skirt is a wrapped skirt in a beautiful A-line. On overlap of about 40cm makes it easy to walk. The beltband closes at the waist and we added three buttons along the sidehem. The textile is a fine but strongly woven cotton with dots.
Thanks Vivienne ….
Do you remember the famous red heart jacket of Vivienne Westwood? An “I-want” of her 2011/12 Red Label Collection. One of my students wanted to copy this jacket and I think we really made a good job! Maybe it’s just her in it…. anyway, it looks fabulous.

Young Sewing Master
One of my youngest students just finished her first top for the upcoming Spring Season! A lovely fabric and a wonderful cut. Well Done!!
New Rompas

Watch this and get a bath in the 80’s fashion! http://www.thecosbysweaterproject.com This is as amazing and cool, but it just happened in 2014, last week in Oyamadai. Chris finished his comfy vest, New York…
Sewing Class for Girls: Part 2
And this is a wonderful bag, made of flower cotton, with lining, straps and the very elegantly catching flower appliques.
All lined and warm!
We had a wonderful Winter here in Tokyo again. 40cm of snow, ths most in 20(?) years? I enjoyed cozy sewing classes, sliding down white hills with my kid and watching the flakes falling. Julie, who has been sewing for more than 18 months now, decided to grab her knitting kit and made extra thick…
