A walk home from Ebisu

Today's weather is way to lovely to catch the train so I took a little walk home from my workshop in Ebisu to Shimokitazawa and snapped up some instagram shots along the way. It's one of my favourite pastimes, wondering around looking for photos.

Hope you're having a nice weekend too.

Handmade Fabric Book Cover Workshop

Hello Sandwiches!

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

If you're in Tokyo on March 5th I hope you can come along to my Handmade Fabric Book Cover Workshop at Shibaura House.

Here are the details from the Shibaura House website:

Hello Sandwichさんによるワークショップ。季節に応じたテーマでかわいいものをつくります。第5回は、ファブリックブックカバーです。
以下は、Sandwichさんからのメッセージ。

今回のワークショップでは、布製のブックカバーを手縫いで作ります。好きな本を持ってきて、そのサイズに合わせてフェルトの裏地付きのカバーを作りましょう。持ってきていただくのは、小説でもノートでもかまいません。もしも小さなノートカバーを作ったら、いつでもハンドバッグに入れて持ち運べますね。もちろんデコレーションも忘れずに。ボタンやリボン、トリム、ポンポンなど、さまざまな素材を用意しますので、心ゆくまで楽しみましょう。このクラスで学んだ知識があれば、おうちに帰って違う本のカバーをつくることも、お友だちにプレゼントすることもできます。フォトアルバムのカバーだって作れます。SHIBAURA HOUSEで開催する、今年初めてのワークショップです。皆さんに会えるのを楽しみにしています！ -ハロー・サンドイッチ。

In this workshop you will make your very own hand stitched fabric book cover to fit any size book of your choice. Please bring along the book you would like to cover and you will learn how to make a felt lined book cover to your custom size. The book could be a novel or a simple notebook. If you would like to make a cute mini size notebook cover you could carry it in your handbag at all times. After we make the book cover base, you can enjoy decorating your book cover with assorted buttons, ribbons, trims and pompoms till’ your hearts contend. Using the skills and techniques learnt in this class you can continue to make covers for other books at your home. Wouldn’t it also be cute to make a cute cover for your friend! You could even cover a mini photo album with these handmade book covers.

Pocket Tissue Case Workshop!

Hello Sandwiches,

These are some incredible pocket tissue cases the participants made at the Hello Sandwich Pocket Tissue Case sewing workshop at Shibaura House last night!




Everyone hard at work at Shibaura House.

I find it so inspiring meeting everyone at the workshops. People who attended last nights workshop included textile students, illustrators, gallery owners, hair+make artists, furniture designers, editors, editorial art directors, stationery shop owners, product designers and many other amazing people. It's always a buzz with conversation (when participants aren't so quiet from too much concentration that is!) between these creatives in both Japanese and English.

Boys come to the Sandwich workshops too! This was Kenji-san's first time hand sewing and he did such an amazing job. How cute is the fluoro green pom pom!　お疲れ様けんじさん！

This cute Tote bag started off at Kanae-san's embroidery workshop!



This is cute Mami with her pocket tissue case...and oh. my. goodness...



...how cute are these cookie-look-alike brooches that Mami-chan made for me!!! I will wear them everyday! What a lovely surprise to receive such a beautiful handmade gift at the end of the workshop!　ありがとうまみーちゃん！

I'll be having 4 more workshops at different locations (and also including one at Shibaura House) before Christmas so I hope you can pop on in to one! Details to follow.
