Japanese Sewing Magazine

31 May

Jeremy and Kristin brought back two Japanese sewing magazines for me when they returned to the states. This one had a project that I recently attempted.

It had some English words, but most of it is Japanese characters and it even reads from right to left.

Lee Love
