Maggie's bag - Japanese fabric


I went to Japan with Maggie during CNY 2009 and we were in the patchwork shop in Kamata and Maggie fell in love with this piece of Japanese fabric, however the fabric looks rather Aussie? what do you reckon?

Wallets



I even know how to make wallets!

This is one of my newly acquired skills, it is real fun, will be making more to take the wallets to market instead of ruining my nice leather wallets when marketing.

Bags, more bags



Another bag made with Japanese fabric which I acquired during my last trip to Japan and a toiletry bag + credit card holder

Japanese Chirimen bag


I found this piece of cloth in my mum's cupboard amongst her treasured possessions and I made a beautiful bag out of it.

Halloween quilt



The nice Halloween cloth was given to me by my sister Mary a few years ago and I found some nice pumpkin cloth lately to complete the Halloween quilt. The embroidery in the middle row complements the Halloween quilt very well and it is very colourful.

Bags - japanese cloth



During the CNY I went to Japan (Tokyo) for holidays, however did not manage to buy a lot of fabrics as the Japanese Yen has appreciated about 30% since 2007. I managed to buy a couple of nice pieces though and made them into bags. Here are 2 that I have completed. I also bought the nice leather handles from Japan.
