Fabrics for my new book

Hello Sandwiches,

I've been busy working on my new Hello Sandwich book that I'm making with a Japanese publisher! Here are some of the fabrics I stocked up on the other day for the projects.

State of Craft

I am so excited about Cicada's new book 'State of Craft' to be released in October. I received a PDF of the book tonight and there are so many cute craft projects in there I think you will love!

Here is a little sneak peek.

There are a few Hello Sandwich spreads in there too!

Thank you so much to Ziggy and Victoria for including Hello Sandwich. To order your copy when it's released in October pop on over to the Cicada website.

Japanese Craft Book (sneak peek!)

This is just about my dream come true! At the moment I'm making a craft book with a Japanese Publishing company.
Today we had a 7 hour meeting at the Art Directors house...photographing lace and buttons, styling a pile of pencils, selecting collages, choosing colour ways, drinking coffee, eating fancy marshmallows, using the Art Directors office-sized printer (um, how cool to live in Tokyo and have your own office-sized laser printer in your home!), and having the most lovely time ever. I'd be so happy if I could just continue to make craft books in Japan forever~! Our book will be released later this year and I really hope you will like it.

Handmade Books

Anyone who follows my Instagram will already know that I've been handmaking some little note books lately! It. is. oh. so. much. fun. I'll also be hosting a bookmaking workshop at Nidi Gallery in Shibuya showing participants how to make these books! If you're in Tokyo next month I hope you can come along!

(Added note: Thank you to all who expressed interest in making these books! Even if you can't make it to Tokyo I will still be providing a way for you to make these...stay tuned!)

Love Love
