Cotton Time - No. 101 - March 2012

The spring issues are here, and this one includes a free sample of the mini rose print on the front cover, plus a pattern to make the cute handbag shown! Projects in this issue include: sewing accessories, household organizers, household storage and decor inspiration, a simple skirt pattern, cute bags, a fun applique bag project by designer Akiko Endo, home office or school supplies, kids' school and lunchtime goodies, crocheted flower tawashi (dish scrubbies), and more! This magazine includes a full size pattern sheet. Note that the magazine is written in Japanese, but detailed patterns and step-by-step schematics are included. Crafters who cannot read Japanese but who have some sewing experience are often able to interpret the instructions without any trouble, and others can use the projects as inspiration for their own creations.
