I wish I had another me who are into those books, sewing, and DIY works... :p There are always too many attractive things in the world for one to try. It's a pitty we had to choose only a few from them and give up the rest. :( I think Japanese HOW TO books are very kind with details and many pictures.

I recently found out that a lot of Japanese sewing magazines (for clothes) and even books are becoming popular here in Europe, even (or especially?) among those who don't speak Japanese and don't really intend to learn either. The reason is that in the Japanese books and magazines, the measurements and patterns are so clear that it's very easy to understand even without the language skills. I found this very interesting, since I have difficulty even in my own language to figure out instructions sometimes haha! Also, not clothing related, but amigurumi is getting incredibly popular here too. I understand why... those characters are so cute!!! Ohh, I meant to comment on this earlier and totally forgot!

I am kind of person who like to get things organized all the time. This sounds good, but the dark side of it is that I throw things away very easily. This is also because of my small house to live in. But I wonder how many times I regret having thrown away clothes I didn't wear any more for a while. Several years later, it's possible that the vogue that has gone could come back or the popular colors revive. Or my taste can change. I just remember my pink colored coat that I disposed of long time ago. But I feel like wearing it today. It's too late... T_T You' re right!

I would love to try this, I can sew but when I see some used clothing I am not creative enough to envision it in a new way. Repairing clothing instead of tossing them out is very good too, I always try to keep my clothes good for as long as possible haha^^ I think it's a great idea to re-make used clothing, something out of style into style~!
