I don't think spring is coming soon, so....

I appliqued sakura,or cherry blossom printed fabric on the two white towels. After the earth quake, every japanese people became sad. Pink items and cherry blossoms make me happy.

Dish towel

which I made today.

Magnet snap

I bought some magnet snaps a couple of months ago, but I have never used them before. I attached these snaps inside the eco-friendly tote which I made the other day.

Kurumi button

which I made today. What shall I make with it?

Eco-friendly tote bag 2009,Feb, 1st

3, I wanted to use same fabric as the beige side, but I changed my mind. When I thought about Obama, I remembered that I have a US flag bandanna. So, I used this bandanna for the other side. I used some quilt batting to reinforce this bag. This is not so cool, but this is only one in the world. So, it is not so bad.(?)

2, While I was stitching some dusters and some kitchen towels several days ago, I suddenly wanted to make a hand stitched tote bag. Then, I looked into a closet to find some fabrics. I found this beige cotton fabric. I thought it is perfect for hand stitching, because its textile is very coarse. And I was right. Yeah! I again made a playful childish tote bag.

1,I appliqueted this fabric label which my sister gave me last year.

Re-use

I made some dusters with worn out towels yesterday. I made some machine stitching. They turned out to be playful dusters.LOL

Another dish towel

I love this tread so much. I have never used this type of wool, but I should try!

With colorful sashiko thread

This evening, I bought this colourful sashiko thread and red sashiko one. I thought that this thread is strange at a craft shop, but it is so interesting.I feel as if I used many thread. Don't you think so?

Fukin(dish towel)

Hahaha! I made another dish towel, and stitched some childish?pictures. I love to bleach any kinds of towels, so the stitches will fade away soon.

Japanese sashiko stitch

Even though I was not interested in Japanese sashiko stitching I bought this sashiko thread last year. It is very thick tread. I should buy a needle which has a big thread hole. When I saw this thread, I wanted to try hand stitching with it. I made a simple kitchen towel with Japanese cotten called Sarashi.

Coasters

I am thinking about Halloween things. ......ghost, black cat, witch, bloom, pumpkin, Jack-O-lantern, trick or treat, ....what else????

Bear labels

When my mother and I visited my sister, she gave these fabric labels to me. My sisiter is good at sewing, but she doesn't sew very often these days. Therefore, she gave me some of her fabric labels. I chose these Kuma labels!!Yah!

What shall I make next with ......?

My handmade eco-friendly tote bag

Yesterday I bought 3 pieces of fabric. This patern is usually used for Happi, or this thick fabric is used for a Japanese style apron. I wanted to buy this fabric more, but there was this one only. I made this eco-friendly tote bag today, and I really love it. When I go shopping next time, I will take it with me. These kanji mean "Ichiban", or No,1, or Ace, or best.

My easy hand craft Christmas towel for the toilet

I made this towel some years ago. I applequed the santa embroidery and the holly patern fabric onto the white towel. That's it! It's nice, isn't it?

My handmade book cover and fabric covered buttons

When I bought some secondhand books from an on-line shop last spring. I wanted to make some fabric book　covers to conceal the ragged covers. This is the fourth book cover which I made.
