Prezzies from Japan



Look at these lovely goodies that arrived in my postbox all the way from Tokyo! A few weeks ago the lovely and talented Ophelia let me know that we'd both started sewing in January 2010 and that our sewing-o-versary was coming up. To celebrate, we decided to send each other a little surprise parcel by snail mail. What a delight to open this package! A little button-themed notepad, a homemade wrapping bag garnished with a pretty silk rose, and best of all a Japanese pattern book, something that regular readers will know I have been coveting for ages.







Which dress to make first? I might try this last one with the pleats. Right, I'll just read the instructions...


Erm...


Luckily the lovely and thoughtful Ophelia has dotted little notes over the book translating important information like pattern numbers and sizing. Thanks Ophelia!
