As promised yesterday, I took some photos of the inside pages of the magazines that my cousin brought back from Japan for me.  Here are some of my faves.

First up, a kids sewing pattern magazine called Child Boutique:

 

holding hands - shorts and capris with pieced patchwork detail on hems: 

 

baby sets with bias binding accents:

 

cute shirt and short sets:

 

mini kimonos in hello kitty fabrics:

 

this next picture (below) just kills me!  I love it in so many ways! 

 

Next we have Cotton & Paint no. 27 - I had never seen this mag but had read about it online so it was great to get a copy to look at.  I love the bear on the front cover:

 

this bag screams vintage and handmade - I love it:

 

love this dress - and look, yellow really is popping up everywhere: 

 

little purses:

 

crafty mums chatting and laughing (as we do):

 

mother and daughter skirts:

 

doilies on bags:

 

little lovelies:

  

Kids Style is a kids fashion magazine, so no sewing, but great clothes and photos:

 

looking very grown up:

 

love this shot:

 

japanese mini punk:

 

 something is cracking these kids up - are they wearing that to school?

 

The first issue of Milk magazine in Japan, again kids fashion with great photography and styling:

 

I love this shot so much! how funny are these kids?

 

what is he doing?

 

and lastly, what seems to be a catalogue style magazine with baby and pregnancy and mum items:

 

these are cute - the babies and the prints:

 

baby items in neutral tones:

 

love these little boxes and bags:

 

So many photos - I hope you liked them!  There are a few more from each magazine over here. 

It’s school holidays here so more play than crafting right now but I am hoping to get some making in soon!
