finding inspiration

This week I have been looking over my Machine Made Patchwork books, sourcing some colour inspiration while making my furoshiki. These books are a bookshelf staple! You will often find me looking through them when I'm looking for some sewing inspiration. I highly recommend them :)


I just came across the above book while looking for a link for the Machine Made Patchwork... I think this one will have to become another bookshelf staple!

Hello to the Brown Owls girls!!

i'm going to japan

Unbelievable, but true! For ten whole days in Tokyo but not until the beginning of June, which leaves me a smidgen of time to begin some planning and researching!

So tonight I dusted off my Japanese magazines to immerse myself in some Japanese design inspiration. Yippeeee!

I'm equally excited to be traveling with Victoria and meeting Hello Sandwich for the first time in Tokyo! I've heard through the grapevine Badskirt will also be there at the same time. Blog meet in Japan anyone?!
