KCW Guest Post!

April 17, 2013

Hooray, here’s my exciting news: today, I’m guest posting over at the KCW blog! I’m over the moon about this, especially because participating in the KCW challenge last fall was truly eye-opening and amazing. It was my first time and the community was so instantaneously welcoming and enthusiastic, and it was incredibly validating to know that other people are as crazy about handmade kids clothes as I am! I had a fabulous time and can’t wait to join again this year.

Today I’m prattling on about one of my favorite patterns, and I made a couple of things from said pattern. Pop on over to the KCW blog to see more! I leave you with a couple of outtake shots:

    Wow! this is super exciting, Sanae! I read KCW’s blog and saw you are guest post there!
    As usual, you made cool and pretty clothes for K, you inspired me… I plan to use Japanese sewing patterns too for KCW. I’m truly happy with your news!

Giveaway time, my friends! So, 2026 is starting ou Giveaway time, my friends! So, 2026 is starting out in a very exciting way. My latest book, SHIBUI: THE JAPANESE ART OF FINDING BEAUTY IN AGING, is already in its second print run — deepest thanks to every person who purchased a copy, then got more copies to give as gifts!! Speaking of gifts, I have a little giveaway today that’s different from my usual kind. Shibui is available in audio format (a first for me!) read by the talented @edelynokano, and I have SIX free Spotify codes. Please note that you do need a Spotify account to utilize the code. Interested? 

To enter the giveaway, please leave a comment below. Any comment would be lovely but if you have an audiobook recommendation, I’m all ears! No pun intended. I’ll leave the giveaway open until Friday, January 30th and will DM the winners shortly after. Good luck!🍀 @sasquatchbooks #shibui
