Japanese Sewing Books.com is turning 2! Sometimes I can’t believe I lasted for so long.
I started this blog as a way to document my efforts in translating Japanese sewing book instructions, and at the same time pick up some Japanese along the way. Two years down and thanks to all your support, encouraging comments, emails and Likes, I have found many reasons to keep blogging (and buying more books!)
Those of you who have been following my blog since the early days may have seen some changes over the years. I started out simply reviewing books, then I added fabrics, free pattern links, and even had started drafting my own patterns. I even tried having themes for each month early this year, but as you can see I have scrapped the idea because sometimes I stumble upon a great new book and I just wanted to share it first but couldn’t do so as it was not “in line” with the month’s theme. So I’ve reverted to a more free and easy style, blogging about whatever comes my way and is interesting enough to share.
Some grand plans and ideas I have for the coming year. I would like to actually do a lot more sewing from the books that I already have. I will still be buying and reviewing books of course, but I am feeling guilty for buying books faster than I am using them! 😛 So I do want to spend more time sewing next year and while I am doing that, I hope to share with you some pictures and videos of the process, and hopefully it will help those of you who have the same books+patterns. Maybe you, my readers, can even suggest patterns or books that you want to see sew-alongs of. Translation requests will still be entertained of course, so keep your emails coming to japanesesewingbooks@gmail.com.
And now for the event you have been waiting for!

I would love to see on your blog more sewing tutorials for adults.My choice og giveaway is C. Bags/small goods/zakka xx
I would like to see more of your sewn items made from the books, along with translated English instructions. Not only we could see the sample provide in the book, but we could also see a different version made by you, which would help us to imagine what different fabric combination we could use if we are to make our own. For example, i love the boston bag that you posted on FB a few days ago, but I’m not sure if I would be able to understand the Japanese instructions, so am a bit hesitate to buy the book, and that’s where your translation could help.
I would also like to see some translation on the different types of fabric, eg knit, lawn, silk, chiffon etc.
My prefer choice of giveaway is: book B Kids / and Fabric A. Nani Iro by Naomi Ito
Keep up the good work!
