japanese sewing lessons

*****giveaway closed*****

So I don't really know anything about Japanese sewing. But my sister-in-law just moved back to the states from Japan. And she brought back some Japanese fabric. And I helped her make some little bags.

I've seen lots of matroyshka fabric on lots of different blogs. But to see it up close and personal? Ohhhhh, so sweet! And this was almost a linen weight, so it was just right for these little gems.

These are the same size as the little bag I posted here. Perfect for little girls to carry some stuff around in.

And who could resist pink poodles?

I helped her make some pillows a while ago the last time she was here to visit. So I thought she might know something about fabric stores over there. I asked her if she had been and if she would be willing to shop for me. She was SO nice and took pictures and emailed them to me and then went back and bought some yard lengths.

This is some of what she brought back for me! And I just can't keep all this cuteness to myself.

So I guess you could say I'm having a giveaway! Leave me a comment by Friday, 9 PM Pacific and I will pick a winner of 4 fat quarters.

If you want to share on your blog - you may use an image and just leave me a separate comment telling me you've done so. Please make sure you have an email attached in some way so that I can contact you! I'll pick a winner using the random number generator thingy and announce the winner Monday morning!
