My works!
Hi everyone! What do you do in your spare time or on rainy days? I usually do some sewing when I don't have anything special to do. You may ask what I make, so let me show you some of my works.
I made this bag about two years ago, but I don't use it so often. That is because I need a stronger bag to carry my dictionaries when I go to university.
This is the most recent work! I wanted a blouse for this summer and I decided to make one by myself. I used a piece of cloth which my mother had bought a long time ago.
This is a piece I made last summer. I wanted a pretty skirt but I couldn't find a nice one at the shops.
When I sew while listening to my favorite music and having a cup of coffee, I feel very happy. I like sewing not only because I can make clothes I like, but also because I get great satisfaction from making clothes as if they were for sale!
I sometimes see you wearing skirt which you made. Cloths you made are very cute and pretty. I have never made cloths, except an apron in junior high school.
How long does it take to make one skirt? If making is easy, I may try.
Thank you! I'm glad to hear you like my work. Sewing is not so difficult if you know the right order. It is very important to be careful in making clothes. You don't want to wear ragged ones, do you? Sewing will certainly give you a feeling of achievement!
I also think your clothes are nice! They are not only pretty but also neat. You are very good at sewing.
Before my dance club hold the annual performance of karadakara (you know this name), I usually make some clothes. At first, I didn't like sewing because it took me a lot of time. But I gradually became happy to make my costumes, for I am satisfied with my work.
My view is that everyone should be trying to be creative and inventive in their won time. No matter the results. Your blog is another way to achieve this. Sadly, the Japanese education system doesn't stimulate enquiry or creativity. This is what creates the future. Not exams.
Good luck.

Your sewing is great! I always admire your masterpieces when you come to university wearing them. I have never made clothes but I like sewing too.
When I was a junior high school student, I made small mascots of Anpanman characters. They are not as good as your works, but they are my masterpiece. Could you someday tell me how to make a skirt or a shirt?
