Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

Are you looking for some Japanese fabric?

I am a fabric addict person, when I sew something special, cute, unique, lovely, gorgeous, colorful fabric, I just buy it and keep it in my room.
BUT, I realized that I have no idea in what to use it on, so I decided to resell it to someone who might use it in a better way than me :)

All fabric is Japanese and using for kimono.Find your favorite fabric and enjoy!

Cotton - Okinawa bingata print fabric - Pink

Kanoko shibori - most high quality hand dyed silk - brown

Tanabata (July 7th)- Japanese annual event

Tanabata (July 7th)

Tanabata is a star festival that occurs on July 7th.
It's based on the Chinese legend in which Altair and Vegan who are split apart on opposite side of the Milky way, are allowed to meet once a year on this night by the Emperor of the universe. So tonight is a very romantic day!

In old days, people prayed to become clever with their hands on this day. This custom remains today, but we are praying some other things. When I was a little girl I wished "become a millionaire" well still not! lol
Anyway, people write their wishes on strips of paper and hang them on branches of bamboo tree with other paper decorations.
