On-line obsessions



Ahhh, Japanese Books. I am in need of something for myself this time.
This book is from this Etsy shop. I was about to buy another one but I held back.

This book has some really cute dresses and blouses. Which makes me laugh a little because by time it's spring I will be fully b'feeding the next little one and won't be able to wear dresses (let alone sew). I may sew some dresses for my sisters instead if I get time.

Unless, I alter the pattern so make them unbutton or something... hmmmm, something to consider.


You can also buy them from yesasia.com by browsing Japanese books by Lifestyle/Home Arts, and by narrowing down by price search but there's still about 29 pages to browse. You need tons of patience and willpower not to add everything to your cart!
They have free International shipping for orders over $50 I think so that's about 2 books worth.






This is the Oliver + S Day in the Park Backpack Tote pattern. It's on special for half price so how could I resist? It would just be the perfect Christmas or Birthday gift. Plus, I would totally use it for myself!


These new patterns should tied me over for a while. Ooops, I've said that before...I think I'm beginning to be a pattern hoarder (cough, cough)


Does this mean that I shouldn't be going to the Stitches and Craft show next month?

Invisible zipper foot - Birch

I thought I might shed some light on the invisible zipper foot. I bought a Birch model from Spotlight and it came in a little plastic bag with four blue shanks and a rolling foot. First I removed the standard foot from my Janome sewing machine (Sewist 521). I realised I still needed to remove the shank, which is the part that is screwed on, and holds the interchangeable feet. So with one hand holding the screwdriver and one hand holding my daughter, who just had to watch, it popped out disappeared somewhere. NO! I was about to kick myself but luckily I found it in the basket underneath my table. Phew. The Birch invisible zipper foot comes with one shank already in place so you know how it's suppose to fit. You have to select the correct shank that fits your machine and slide it onto the foot piece. I just tried each blue part on my machine and made sure it was wide enough to cover the metal leg bit and that I could fit the screw in it's side. Once you find the correct shank sl
