I wasn’t sure what the difference was between the #8 and #9, looks like it’s length.

And oh, they are Japanese.

Kind of an amazing page, worth a look. I’ve never seen so much detail on needles before.

This was on my mind recently too. I thought there must be some kind of upgraded hand sewing needles. I found some at a Japanese fabric shop called Tulip brand (though I wonder whether they’re Korean as they had some specifically for pojagi, in addition to others).

After some more deliberation, I think I’ve decided.
Juki tl2000qi straight stitch,
Juki HZLf300 everything else machine,

I am so glad you have found a house, machines next.

You could do a swing skirt out of chambray with a gingham petticoat ruffle. You could use the gingham for bandanas for both of them. If you make the petticoat ruffle detachable the skirt would be more versitial.

I’ll join the Fibre Club! I do a bit of everything (except I’m really bad at photographing my projects). I’m knitting at the moment, finishing off a vintage pattern cardigan for myself. I embroider and needle turn applique to add detail to garments, and I crochet,mostly when I need it to finish the edges on my knitting, but I have made a granny…[Read more]
