Hi everyone, just for fun I want to list the sewing projects I finished (yay!) in January. I wish I have taken better pictures of these, but I figured that if I wait until that happens, March might arrive before I finally manage to write about these. Between work, family, sewing, and updating this blog, beautiful photos are (sadly) not my priority, at least for the time being.

They have a lot of block-printed batik fabrics. Well actually, when I think carefully about it, I would say all of the batik fabrics in the shop are block-printed. I found some hand-painted fabrics, but those are already made into finished products.
