I've been on YesAsia.com looking at Japanese craft books again this afternoon. Which seems a good occasion for posting another from my collection. Even though I own this, my eye is still drawn to it every time I see it on one of the craft book sites. The cover is just so moody and dramatic:
"Waist GOMU Skirts", by Watabe Sato, ISBN 4-309-28077-3.
What is a "waist GOMU skirt"? I have no idea. Google's translation of the title from Japanese -- "The West Rubber it is Visible Clearly and the Skirt Adheres with the Straight Stitch" -- doesn't do a whole lot to clear it up.... But they're awfully pretty!
If I ever get around to making something, perhaps I'll start with the leather patchwork skirt. I've got a ton of pretty ultrasuede fabric sitting around.
P.S. I really DO have cute little zakka books as well! For some reason, I've just been in the mood to post all the moody fashionable ones of late.... We'll get to them all one of these days!
