Another favourite book
Imaginative title eh ?
This week's wip
little baby shoes. Pattern from this book.
Speaking of baby shoes, there are some lovely ones in here
ISBN 4 07 246385 x
How cute are they ?
There are also lots of other nice things for baby..
simple little blankets and a bag to put them in.
A nice bag for Mummy to cart around all the crap things you have to cart around when you have a little 'un.
cutie hat
toys
and very cute applique and stamp ideas.
Have a great weekend everyone, I shall mostly be tackling my huge pile of ironing before it topples over and crushes someone to death.
And I'm not joking.
Japan is going to make me broke! I wonder why this aesthetic isn't translated to English-written books.

Oh lovely - I really like the tweedy red ones. Great that someone else realises it's never too early to foster a shoe fetish.

I keep reading part of this entry as "a bag to put the baby in", which may or may not be intentional, but it gave me a good chuckle.

I am a lurker usually but I have to tell you that everything you create is so cute. I wish I had the patience to sit at the sewing machine and was able to read Japanese. The shoes are adorable!

Put the iron down. Back away. Go and do something more interesting. There's nothing to see here. - Lyn, no-one got to the end of their lives wishing they'd done more ironing. Do less. I give you permission.

Wow that's a lot of cute! I'm loving the shoes, bonnet and the boxy shape of the mommy bag. Thanks for sharing :)

I wonder if I keep enlarging the patterns, will I end up with a size 5?!! They make you want a tiny bundle to make them for...well, perhaps not entirely one of your own, just acsess to one!! Love the grey/black polka dots and the rabbit...I want at least one.

Lovely! These models are just wonderful...

What a cute book full of inspiration!
Are the patterns in most the Japanese books difficult to figure out? I have never bought one because not being able to read Japanese kind of makes me nervous to buy a book full of Japanese:)
