I was sorry not to have been able to make it to Portland. I so enjoyed meeting everyone in LA last year.
I was in Japan in November and your Mrs. Stylebook photos brought back some great memories of touring the Ginza where the women and girls all dress to the nines- their stylishness puts our schlumpy dress to shame! Lets bring back style to American life! Let’s wear some of those fabulous garments we’ve been sewing (and get a tie onto DH- ha!).

I just found out today that Daiso has an online store! http://www.daisojapan.com. Not as good as going to the actual store, as it only sells in bulk, but for those of you not in the area, better than nothing?

I would have had a hard time not buying one of those sweet little Seattle houses. How picturesque the whole place is. Weren’t you at least a little tempted to send for your things and not come back East?

Where in Seattle did you find Mrs Stylebook and Lady Boutique? I checked at Daiso this weekend, and they did not have them. In fact, they looked at me a little crazy, when I was insistant that they had had them in the past.

I think I may need to take a trip by there. I too love the red top with the ruffles peeking out. Gorgeous!

I covet them :)

Of course they’re the most complicated designs so it’s not too likely I’ll make them, but still :)

Christina is a peach for being a hostess. Thanks for sharing the great pictures :)

Your Seattle pictures are making this American girl very homesick–for Asia!

I love love LOVE that red top with the ruffles peeking out at the back! Since I have no idea whatsoever where/how I’d get any of these books in Canada (except I guess for in Vancouver maybe – the totally wrong side of the country for me) and I have no one to get them for me, I guess I’m just gonna have to rip it off, oh well ;oP

It’s kind of a pity that the population of Canada is spread so thin across most of the country, making things like a “PR weekend” so logistically difficult….except in the ‘big 3′ of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver cause I’d just love to do something like this sometime, I’ve been so starved for sewing friends most of the last 4 years!!

Glad you had a great time though! What inspiration get cracking on more projects it must have been!

I wish my neighbor that sews/knits/crochets and reads Japanese hadn’t moved back to Honolulu (from LA).

We have Japanese dollar stores in LA, too. But Seattle is the closest US mainland port to Japan.

Pattern Magic 2 should be arriving in your mailbox in 2-4 wks. It was on backorder at Books Sanseido. But check out what I did find and buy:

I’m totally checking out that $1.50 store when I go visit my sis in July. I need oil blotting paper too and it’s soooo expensive. Cheers to staying wrinkle free because we have oily skin (at least that is my hope too!).
