Finally doing some more sewing

Things changed a lot in Japan during the past couple of years. Among others, Japanese ladies waist is expanding, at least for some of them.

Nissen mail order giant has now a special large size catalogue called smileland. You can access it online too, www.smileland.jp

It is all in Japanese, though. Good way to put one's learning into practice ...

I have bought plenty of jackets, shirts, etc. Unfortunately, my legs remain much longer and larger (or stronger) than the ones of a standard Japanese lady.

Which means that I still have to sew my own trousers/pants.

Life is now a little more quiet (lots of stuff going on in the background, but nothing super urgent) and I found myself again enjoying my sewing machine's company this week-end.

Music (ipod and podcasts) and cats are part of it, of course.
