From this month onwards, I will be blogging once a month about new releases in Japanese Sewing Books. 🙂 The books I have listed are based on their release dates in February. Some of the new magazines due for release in March have already…
Today’s book review is a wonderful find from my trip to Japan. The title is はじめてさんのソーイング. Which roughly translates to First timer’s sewing. It’s actually a sewing book for beginners, and despite having sewn for many years, I still feel like a beginner sometimes.…
