It's here!
My sewing machine finally arrived. I made the very stupid decision to buy a sewing machine for my stay in Japan. Some might say I threw my money out of the window, as it will be nearly impossible to send it to Germany. Well, we will see.
My urge to sew has been so big that I just had to buy one. So I browsed lots of Japanese stores and ended up buying a Toyota Poem. It was one of the cheapest I could find but still it is years better than the one I had in Germany (which was loud and sometimes the seams looked ugly no matter how hard I tried)

So my first finished project in Japan is this one:

The skirt is really fluffy!
As I bought a 4 meter pre-cut for 980 Yen (cheap!) I still have around 2.4 meter left!! Now I try to figure out what to do. Make a bustier so that it looks like a dress when worn together? Or make a Bolero?
What do you think?

I really want to sew a lot right now but I don't have the big fabric stash like I had in Germany (I posted a picture of it some while ago). Problem is that I can't find any nice fabric for a blouse online and I don't want to make the 1 hour train ride to Aeon shopping mall again this week (well, maybe on the weekend). So I think ebay has to work for me.
I found the cutest Matroshka fabric which will be turned into a dress!!

As for stitching I got quite a lot done on Bunch of Love but not as much as I wanted... Pictures will wait until the next entry though!
I've finally got Blastoise done! It's number four on me Pokedex!!

(Disclaimer: The pattern was made by myself and for private use only. I don't own any of the Pokemon characters or monsters and won't sell them or use them for any comercial use)

Next on the list is Charmander! And next week will be Pokemon week where I want to finish at least two Pokemon! (My yearly goal is to do at least 7, one for every month since I started in May. 3 more to go)
