frame work #1 & #2

This is the first Panda-chan frame work. It is a Christmas theme, very warm and happy! I hope that everybody will enjoy Panda-chan’s handmade teddy pandas!


I just put the wooden frame on top of the appliqué for this blog. The frame doesn’t have much depth, so the appliqué will be close to the frame level. This item will be in my shop after I scan it. I’m hoping to create a pretty card from this appliqué too!




This is another Christmas theme appliqué that I started first. This item is not for sale. I was so inspired by this appliqué, I decided I had to keep the work for myself... I will scan this appliqué too for making cards.


I just started stitching the third one. This is a Winter theme appliqué with a snowman and Panda-chan. I hope that it will be a very playful and joyful one.


Two frame works will be in my shop the first week of November. Also, I’m quite sure that I can add three more framed works later in November. They all will be Winter or Christmas theme appliqués.


I’m very sorry about delaying my shop update...

panda-chan’s handmade

Panda-chan is making a teddy panda. She is holding a needle, and working on the teddy panda’s left ear right now. She is going to make three teddy pandas because she has three friends. I am hoping that everybody will love Panda-chan’s handmade teddy pandas!


I am working on more stitches♥

not sleeping! framed work

Panda-chan is just pretending to be sleeping. She is planning to catch somebody...


I wanted this Panda-chan to look like a character in a picture book.


I am going to create 6 framed works for this Holiday season. I hope that they will warm up your room!


I will do more stitches tomorrow!

50th zipper pouch of this year!

It is a nice day today, and I finished the panda-chan zipper pouch! It is the 50th zipper pouch of this year♪ I think that the patch work is pretty, and I love the puffiness of the pouch.




I like adding a little appliqué on the back side of the pouch. Something that relates to the main appliqué picture would be very pretty.

who got the present?

Panda-chan is shipping her very important present by the happy air mail balloon. The balloon is big enough to carry the package far away. But who is the lucky creature who gets this mail?






The tiniest pink bear matryoshka got the gift! (I’m disappointed that it wasn’t for me this time). Sniff... Sniff... Sniff... It is safe for her to approach. She is so curious, and see her hand is reaching out from the matryoshka costume.


The linen is still wet after erasing the marker... It’s been cloudy/rainy these days, so it takes a long time to dry. I hope that it will be a nice day tomorrow for photo shooting this pouch.

panda-chan with a happy balloon air mail

Panda-chan is standing in her signature pose. Oh? Her panda teddy already looks sleepy...




The happy air mail balloon is bigger than ever. I imagine that the gift might be much heavier this time.




A pink cloud and two skinny baby birds are added with many small stitches.


After putting on the panda costume’s eyes, I will patchwork it with Japanese kawaii print fabrics. It is going to be another large puffy pouch!

pink hair girl’s closet pouch

It became like this! It is a zipper pouch, and bigger and thicker than my other ones.



I used Japanese “domit” batting between the pouch and lining, and it ended up perfectly puffy and warm.

The lining is pretty German cotton, and the pocket is an ironing girl print cotton.


This item will be in my shop shortly.

bag, OR pouch?

I finished the back side today. I added mittens and a scarf, and some snow flakes.


I still don’t know if I will make it into a mini handbag or a pouch. If it seems too too sweet to carry as a handbag, I have to create a pouch, so it will be a lovely surprise taking it out from a chic bag.

today’s work

I made a little progress♫ I added more little stitches on the appliqué, and finished the front side of the patch work. Her pink hair got curly, no need to comb for my taste.

pink hair girl’s closet

I’m going to make a mini handbag using this new appliqué. This is a winter closet, so I’m going to add mittens and a scarf on the back side of the bag.


I think that her wardrobe is adorable. She just needs a panda bear costume sometimes.


This month, I will introduce some of my felt & embroidery appliqués as framed pieces for decorating your room! I will announce more details later, so please come and take a look♪
