I'm a quilter and also a foreigner living in Southern Japan in Amakusa. I envy all your stories about material shopping. I'm stuck ordering everything of the internet. I have been collecting scraps from Nani Iro's Gauze as well as the far far away collection. Soon I will try and make a quilt for my bed. People are never too old to love unicorns and frogs! www.gaijincreations.blogspot.com hi. thanks for all your helpful translations.

I've been sewing from Lady Boutique and Mrs. Stylebook for a couple of years now. The only thing that stumps me is the type fabric that's being used for the garments. It's not always easy to tell from the illustrations. Most of the time I've done OK, but a few garments I've messed up because what I thought was a pattern for a knit-fabric garment was actually made for a woven fabric or vice versa. Or I've gotten the hand of the fabric wrong like using too stiff a fabric when I should have used one with a softer hand or drape. Would you happen to have translations for the various fabric types, such as knits (interlock, jersey, etc.), wovens (pique, broadcloth, poplin, etc.), also lightweight fabrics versus heavyweight fabrics? And what is the translation for a stretch fabric, like stretch poplin or stretch linen? I think that would be of great help to all of us who "sew Japanese". Thanks for the translations!

Coming late to the party, but I just wanted to add that グログランリボン means grossgrain ribbon! Took me about half an hour to figure it out, but yay! Hi!

Now I can tackle that old Japanese pattern magazine with some hope of success. I bought it because the pictures were so pretty, but then couldn't make use of it. One more time, thanks.

I use a Japanese computer, so it has been a long time since I needed software to type Japanese. Maybe someone who visits this page could answer your question? I know that the Japanese language support download from Microsoft allows someone to at least read the characters. Happy sewing--Pattern Magic is a fun book. Joanna, you are welcome!
