Indeed, it&#8217;s been a few years now that I have wanted to sew and buy myself a sewing machine. So far I was hand sewing and doing some basic embroidery but for a lot of the things I do, actually a sewing machine would have been much better. I don&#8217;t do very difficult things, rather fixing clothes: shape and size and interior goods: mainly pillow covers, table clothes etc&#8230; In Tokyo we live in an area where there are a few fabric shops and I can&#8217;t resist buying some regularly, but the real trigger was all the meisen fabric I bought for super cheap in <a href=\"http:\/\/\/2017\/5\/28\/chichibu-\">Chichibu<\/a> when we visited a friend a few weeks ago. So last week, I finally got a sewing machine. Since I&#8217;m a total beginner I went fir the simplest one and it&#8217;s been really easy to use. I&#8217;ve done a few simple projects to start with: pillow covers, button holes&#8230; yesterday I tried a very ambitious project but it was really over my abilities, so I will have to work on it again, I made many mistakes because of the lack of technique and small equipment. I&#8217;ll do better next time. Anyway, enjoying myself very much learning something new and decorating the house!!!<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 2500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img src=\"http:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/54c4c3bde4b03dfa2a325d98\/550e8df8e4b047e3d942a260\/59505d56f5e231db427312f0\/1498439027684\/FullSizeRender.jpg\" alt=\" Decorating the guest room with some new meisen pillows \"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Decorating the guest room with some new meisen pillows<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s the rainy season so I cannot spend as much time outdoors as I would like to, so I keep myself busy indoors with some cooking, working and some DIY projects.
