I’m just letting you know that I am going to be away from regular blogging for a short while.
We are travelling overseas; visiting friends and going skiing. I am a very bad skier, which is hardly surprising given that we have lived almost our whole lives 2000 miles away from anywhere that ever sees snow, but I still enjoy skiing nonetheless! I should mention my family are much better than me… er, so maybe it’s just that I’m kinda uncoordinated.
We are also spending some time in Tokyo. It’s no secret that I find Japanese fashion incredibly inspiring, so I’m looking forward to seeing some for real and check out people in the streetz and going window shopping. Real shopping? Maybe. I think my no-shopping pledge can be stretched just a little bit when it comes to souvenirs… I love to have wearable souvenirs from our holidays.
Of course, fabric is totally allowed… 😉
Without a doubt the highlight of my time in Tokyo will be meeting up with some fellow seamstresses and bloggers whilst I am there, Yoshimi and Novita. I can hardly wait to meet them and chat about self-fashioning and stuff…! So exciting!
So, later, dudes!
Lucky lucky! Have a wonderful time!! Can't wait to hear/see of your adventures! (I don't know Novita yet, but Yoshimi is a lovely sewist!)
Have a great time! Please let us know if you find any good fabric/sewing stores! I'm headed there later this year & am keen to find out what's on offer.
Enjoy it! Break a leg! 😉
Enjoy. Say Hi to Yoshimi from me. I think she is very cool. Post the lowdown on where to buy fabric in Japan – I'd like a trip.
Happy travels – sounds wonderful!
Have a wonderful trip. Looking forward to seeing your sewing purchases from Tokoyo and what you think of Japanese fashion. Jane
Lucky you! Have a wonderful time!
Have fun! You did not mention Kyoto, but here is a fun sewing post about that city.

Wow that really exciting! I wish I had access to Japanese patterns and fabric where I live (smack in the middle of the USA). Have a good trip!
Ooooh, fun!! Enjoy your jet-skiing and kayaking across the pacific ocean … 🙂
Hope you have a wonderful time!
How exciting! Have fun!
Wow!! How fun!! You could take some pretty stunning photos in Tokyo. However did you manage a trip there of all places?
Sounds fun!

Safe travels! Can't wait to see what you bring back for show 'n tell. 🙂
Have a wonderful trip Carolyn! Make sure you show us any of your 'souvenirs'!
Have a great trip. Looking forward to your Japanese souvenirs . . . I've recently succumbed to some Japanese patterns books, but it's not quite the same as actually visiting Tokyo (:
Now, if you bought kimonos and refashioned them, surely that would not count. I'm just glad that you are safe, high and dry. Enjoy your break.
Oh how exciting. Have a wonderful time!
Safe travels! Looking forward to hearing all about it!
