Basic Tricks To Take Your Sewing Up A Notch

16 May, 2015

Japan Post

Six weeks to arrive.
The last weekend I was in japan, I blew out my suitcase. I mailed 20# home for $50 - on a Sunday.

A lot of my purse hardware was packed inside. These are some that my friend gave me.

A lot of the Daiso hardware too. I took the packaging off some to save space.
I had extra allowable poundage in my suitcase but no space. Good thing japanese post offices don't follow US weekend closure schedules.

A little bit of 'kid in the candy store' as I drew out fabrics.

It's difficult to name favorites . . .

Quilted fabrics.

Solids.

Kimono scraps.

A little bit like Christmas.

  1. Nice washi tape!

    I too mailed home items from Japan, but that was before I had really gotten back into sewing again, back in 2001.
