I am beyond excited to be here today with our exclusive interview with Naomi Ito, Japanese artist and textile designer. Beloved in Japan and internationally amongst both art fans and textile lovers alike, Naomi brings uniqueness to the sewing world in the form of textile paintings. She has been creating nani IRO, her textile label for Kokka , since and each collection is stunning reflection of Naomi as an artist. I recently had the pleasure of meeting Naomi and listen to her speak about her collection and she was incredibly warm, bright, and inspiring. Began showing her work in in Osaka, Tokyo and Paris. Her works have been used in TV and print advertising, picture books, and on book covers, and her prints and other artworks shown around Japan and internationally. Naomi Ito Nani means beautiful in the Hawaiian language. Iro is the Japanese word for color, and from its kanji character, harmony, balance, and a meeting of light and dark. I paint out of feelings of affection, rendering nature, what is in the heart, and so on, as if plucking a flower complete with the air around it. MM With many nani IRO textiles, the approach is more artistic or painterly than one of design: what is it that inspires your work?

She always wore purple or stripes, she cycled everywhere, she trained as an economist. Anyway, the selvedge is now safely preserved and through pure luck its placement has resulted in one of the selvedge pandas acquiring a speech bubble. And I found the perfect salmon pink bias tape at the local craft shop in Abergavenny. Also, technically this was an easy sew but I did take my time about it — there was a lot of grading, reinforcing, hand-sewing of binding etc which ultimately meant it took a few days to come together. Or even better — actually visit Japan again! The memory of my mum sewing until the wee hours to get my Halloween costume finished when I was tiny and the soothing buzz of the sewing machine. I hope you're all enjoying a very happy last month of I feel like it's …. Will use this book again for sure! Geometric divided basket September 18, I also saved selvedges where I could — there are three of them on view inside.

I need to keep this lucky cycle going! The pattern is the Fibremood Molly jacket, purchased and printed at The Foldline. Grey: organic chambray outside, Carolyn Friedlander contours inside. I have a favourite blouse. I practically live in this outfit now. The pattern was from Etsy. Kids clothes! Oh — and it has pockets. Probably purchased from Miss Matatabi years ago. She always pushed the boundaries, took a hammer to every glass ceiling she could find, bulldozed through conventions and norms. It has these amazing step by step tutorials with tonnes of photos for every aspect of shirt making, and I used these pages extensively. Log in now. This blouse is so dreamy and I want to eat gelato in it and look at flowers.
