From Keiko's X:
Keiko Kitagawa will appear in the September issue of the bimonthly craft magazine "COTTON TIME", which goes on sale on August 7th. The issue will start a series on handmade items, showcasing how to make a mini ribbon handbag.
Kitagawa picked up a sewing machine for the first time in a long time last autumn while making things for her child's kindergarten entrance ceremony, and has been posting the items she has made one after another on X (@KKeiko_official), which has been generating a lot of buzz. In the series, she invites a sewing teacher as her instructor, and learns various tips while making original works…
For the first project, she made a ribbon mini handbag from scratch. The yellow fabric is a different color from the fabric she had previously used to make a dress for her daughter, and she chose it with the intention of subtly matching the two. Kitagawa is enthusiastic, saying, "In the future, I'd like to try my hand at making pillows and mother's bags for children, and even embroidery."
“I'm writing a series about handmade crafts in the craft magazine "COTTON TIME" ! I never thought my hobby would develop into something like this! I'm honored to be a reader of theirs!”
The next issue, the November issue of COTTON TIME, due to go on sale on October 7th, will come with a bonus item of fabric in a special color from Liberty Fabric, specially supervised by Kitagawa.
This looks like such a fun and cute little series!
