About this website

Please use the menu bar above to read about me, services I offer, client's voices, and so on. What I made or repaired in the past are showcased in the blog entries. I believe in making quality handmade items, mending/repairing and upcycling/remaking previously loved fabric items as much as possible. (I'm sorry, but I no longer accept translation/interpreting orders from new clients.)

100th Granny squares

I keep on making granny squares when I have some breaks from other work. The great thing about these is that I can work on only some parts of them even for five minutes at a time. 

I am happy that I have made 100 of them now. This is about a half way to my goal! 

* I cannot offer custom orders for crochet and knitting because I am too much of a beginner.

Mending a rip

I was asked to repair a rip in the back panel of this garment. As you can see, the rip was horizontal and quite long. 


In this kind of rip, I will have to provide a backing layer of fabric on the wrong side, and darn over from the right side to sew the rip closed. 


Although I used the thread that matches the fabric, the repaired area is visible. However, since this is a night shirt, I hope the user gets more use out of it for a while longer.
