While browsing various crafty blogs this morning, I stumbled on the Cotton Paint magazine at Kitty-Craft (via mollychicken). It’s one of those cute Japanese craft mags, and I’m just awe-struck by the so many cute things in it!
Now I don’t sew very much, I only take out the sewing machine when I need to do things like shortening trousers (something I always have to do when I buy new trousers, since I am short). But lately I have been thinking of doing some crafty sewing (thinking of making a rag doll for Annette or something). I think looking at the pics from this mag (the two above are just examples) is just the inspiration that I needed to start.
I can’t read (nor speak) Japanese, but I think the first pic at the top is a placemat and a coaster. I’m thinking of making a bag and a little purse for Annette, in the shape of a house like the placemat, only using the roof part as the flap. What do you think? Would it work?? I still need to work out the details. I’ll keep you posted!
