Zakka Place

Your version of hand made zakka to share...

*Reminder*

Time flies so fast... it's one week (actually it's less than a week) before the deadline for the Zakka photo sharing! (please see my November 10 2008 post for the details)

I have already received several zakka photos from my blog readers so far, but I'd like to announce that I'm going to extend the deadline to the end of April, because I thought I would like to see more. Please don't forget to share the words with your friends too :)

I'm going to give a way a set of Sashiko thread and needles that I purchased in Japan to one randomly picked person!

Happy sewing!

Kawaii Medical / Allergy Masks

It's the influenza season in Japan! Young and old, male and female wear masks everywhere they go. But those masks look too plain and boring! How about wearing these masks with cute patches instead??

You can find these lovely embroidered iron on patches here:

Pin cushions

I love pin cushions because you have so much freedom when you make them, just use your imagination and have fun with materials, shapes, sizes etc! It can be a simple pillow shape like these...
