!!!!!! I close the comment !!!!!!
I'm always happy with your comments, so I decided to do a giveaway here.
It's the first time for me.
In Japan, some people do this as "Kawa-pre". "Kawa" is from kawaii, means cute, and "Pre" is from present.
Giveaway 1
I got a Japanese craft book of Sashiko stitching. I also made an item from the book (* v *).
Giveaway 2
I also got a Japanese craft book of Felt mascot. I also made an item form the book, but with not felt... I don't have any felt fabrics. (* v *)!!!
Giveaway 3
I make a pack of some of my favorite Japanese cotton fabrics. They are from the pictures(I'm sorry, not them all, in smaller pieces) and others from my stocks.
I also put something additional on them. I make three of this fabric bundle.
So I can send five items for five persons.
To enter this giveaway, please leave a comment here, till 6 am of 22th July(EST). Please write which one you want.
**** Please choose which one you want! ****
**** If you don't pick one up, I'll put your name on the least popular one. ****
If I cannot contact you, I'll pick other person again.
Thank you very much for cheering me up always!
!!!!!! Thank you everyone !!!!!!
!!!!!! I close the comment !!!!!!
So great to be the first one! ^^

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot!
I love all the cute things you make. I wish that you had a sarubo in your giveaway because that is what I really want! But if not that, then I'd love to get some fabric and try to make them myself. Thank you.
ReplyDeletesara.aoyama at comcast.net
I love your style & talent. I check your shop everyday. Please put me in the draw for any of your great giveaways
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely idea! I recently found your blog and I absolutely adore your work - especially the sarubobos have inspired me! I'd like to learn to do sashiko embroidery so I'd like to join the draw for giveaway 1, please. Lovely summer for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice thing to do! The fabric is my favorite, it's gorgeous! Sorry I've never commented before, but your blog is a huge inspiration to me - I have to be away from my sewing machine right now, and I'm always amazed by what you do with hand-sewing alone. Thank you for this chance and for writing your blog in the first place!!
ReplyDeleteDear Mai,
ReplyDeletethanks for this lovely idea. I follow you blog since the day I found it an I love it very much, especially your way of eyplaining things. I would love to receive a giveaway - either one as they are all very nice. So I will make a try.
Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us
I just love reading your blog. Your work is amazing!! I pick giveaway 1.
ReplyDeleteThank you
What a generous giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese craft books are certainly rare here in Canada so if I would win I would pick one of them!
Mai you are so very generous, i have been lurking on this blog almost daily since i stumbled on it and it is bad that it takes a giveaway to make me comment! i love your work and have made a button pouch and sarubobo galore, like you i hand sew everything as i don't have a sewing machine, finding your blog has been a real inspiration. i equally love all the posts about japanese food which is a real favourite in our house. i would love any of your givaways but maybe the sashiko the most.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely thing for you to do!
ReplyDeleteIt's so difficult to choose, but I pick the fabric bundles, because the fabrics (and also what you do with them!)are so beautiful. Thank you!!
Mai,
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving us the opportunity to be part of your generous giveaway.
I think you are the most cleverest girl. Your Blog is a delight and pleasure to read. I just love those little sarubobos that you make. Thank you for all the little tutes you give along the way.
Prize choice.....Fabric pack 2
Oh - what a star you are! Kawaii always brings back such good memories as when we travelled in Japan my boy was always described that way! I love either 2 or 3 - too hard to choose! You deserve all the glorious comments!
ReplyDeleteYou make such adorable items ^^ it would be nice to learn the stitching in the first book. Send my love to Bo-Chan!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mai for being so generous! I love your blog and you really gave me a new love for hand sewing. I have started to do it again as well.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly choose between your wonderful gifts, but I would love gift 1 or a fabric bundle the most!
love from the Netherlands, Muriël
Your blog is adorable. I'd love the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteOh, a giveaway from Mai, how wonderful! I hope to win one of the fabric bundles
ReplyDeleteThanks for organising this giveaway! I love your blog & I would love to enter for the giveaway no.2. I can't resist cute felt plushies! It's a tough decision as I love the floral fabrics as well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous giveaway! I really love your blog, and your projects are so beautiful and inspiring :) I think that I like giveaway 1 the best, I love sashiko stitching.
ReplyDeleteCiao Mairuru,
ReplyDeleteI always read your blog and follow your tutorials. I'm from Italy and it's nice to see pictures of your life in Japan.

My name is Valentina and my email is valentina.rachiele@gmail.com
Thank you for having a giveaway... lucky us! You share your beautiful creations and then you give beautiful things away. I would love to add some of your favorite Japanese fabrics to my stash....
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a generous giveaway. I have been reading your blog for a month or so now, after being introduced to your blog from another crafty blog. They talked about your wonderful hand stitching.
ReplyDeleteMy choice would be the fabrics.
I love your sarubobo, and I love that you make everything by hand.
Hi!!! I'd love to enter your giveaway!!! I'd love #1, it's the one I like the best!!!

give away! Sugoi tanoshi! Arigato!
I'm just learning about sashiko and trying out some designs from library books – would love to have a book of my own. You've given me inspiration for some projects.
ReplyDeleteI am regular reader of your blog and in fact, I have a link to your blog from mine!
ReplyDeleteI love all your creative works. You are simply superb!
I know you will not believe this... But this morning, I was thinking that there are so many other craft related blogs which have giveaways and I was wondering if you had any such ideas! And lo! Now I open your blog and see that you indeed have planned for a giveaway... :)
I would love to learn Japanese embroidery and giveaway-1 will suit me the best! :)
Thanks a lot... And I wish I were the chosen one! :)
hi mairuru, i like very much what you does ... simplicity, beauty, and i learn more about japenese culture reading your blog. thanks.
ReplyDeleteif i win i prefer japenese cotton fabrics
maria
Oh, wow, such a great giveaway. You're very generous, and you've chosen wonderful things, as always. I like Giveaway 1 the most, am very interested in the stitching. I think my second choice would be some of the beautiful fabrics. Thanks for always being so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI would prefer giveaway 3 because I definitely need some new fabric and Japanese fabric is the best!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to enter! (Fabric giveaway)
ReplyDeleteThe sarubobo that you make are so darling. I look forward to seeing more.
What a lovely giveaway. I've really been enjoying reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the fabric. :)
Wow, so many comments! I would love to see more examples of the quilting technique, I'm sure I'm too late to receive one of your generous gifts. Your blog has inspired me to make small gifts for my granddaughters, I'm making some Sarubobo items for them, and little purses. I love seeing your handmade art, most people prefer the speed of machines and not the gentle art of hand sewing. Namaste
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the things you make. Thank you for hosting such a generous giveaway. I would love to win the fabric.
ReplyDeleteI love that you sew everything by hand. You are very inspiring to me. I pick the fabrics as I am a sewer also. I would use the fabric to make a present for a good friend.
ReplyDeleteI love your creations! I would love any of the bundles - lovely things!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous giveaway! I absolutely love Shashiko stitching so Giveaway 1 is definitely my choice!
ReplyDeleteAll of these options are really lovely, so just put me down for whatever is least popular (that way I'll have better odds!). Thanks for being so generous!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for all your comments! I'm happy so many people coming here.
ReplyDeleteI want to know who left the comment of Annonymous, the last line, "Namaste".
I'll put the name as "Namaste", but if you read this comment, please write me your name and e-mail, to maimairuru(at)gmail(dot)com.

Hello Mai! I would absolutely love to have the Japanese fabrics! I live in the U.S. and it's hard for me to find those fabrics, but I want them very much because I make stuffed animals and other crafts. My grandmother is from Japan and I would love to make something for her with those fabrics :) You are so nice and kind!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! I would be thrilled just to win, so I will leave it up to you to pick. Love all the choices! Thanks
ReplyDeleteHello Mai,
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the things you make especially because you stitch by hand. That is how I like to sew things too! Your giveaway is very generous. All the prizes are so nice, but I always wanted to try sashiko.
I also love to hear all about bo-chan. What a sweet dog. He makes me smile. :)
Hello Mai!
ReplyDeleteI've only just found your blog but it looks lovely and I'm going to read more of it.
I teach Japanese crafts in the UK so it is great to hear about people like you! I also like to teach my daughter because she is starting to sew and make things now. We use old kimono fabrics to make things.
I can't choose which item I'd like to win because they are all gorgeous, so if I am lucky enough to win I would be happy with any of them!

Thank you for always posting great articles on your beautiful projects! You inspire me and I am a huge fan!

ReplyDeletei love your style and the tutorials you've given! thank you! i would really like to win giveaway 1 because i like embroidery and i've been wanting to try out sashiko on my projects.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway, thank you so much for your generosity! I would love to participate in giveaway 2, I like to make felt softies and the book looks great.
ReplyDeleteHi, Mai! It's very kind of you to have this giveaway! I would love to get some pretty fabrics to make more sarubobos and purses!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful giveaway, all of them are great! The felt mascot book is my favorite. Here's hoping!
ReplyDeleteJust popped in your blog for the first time and saw this incredible giveaway!!! We do not have such lovely books here in Italy... T-T
ReplyDeleteI love those little sarubobo and your work, you're so creative. I started making things handmade after having seen a the cover of a japanese book on craft, so for now it is only amigurumis but... who knows? I would like so much to win the book on felt mascots! Thanks!!! ^^

I would choose the sweet fabric first but all the prizes are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI have a question too. When you used cotton instead of the felt, did you simply turn under the cut edge of the fabric and then topstitch the two pieces together? Did you use an embroidery stitch alone or did you do a running stitch first and then disguise it? Hard for me to tell from the picture. I don't like to work with felt and (duh!) never thought to substitute with cotton.
So thanks for the inspiration, too!
You give me such wonderful ideas, thanks for the give away. I love the sashiko craft book.
ReplyDeleteI love you blog so much and am excited for this giveaway! I think my favorite is item 1
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful give away! I would like to win a fabric bundle or the sashiko book.
ReplyDeleteI thove them all so much, but the first one is my favorite. Thank you!
ReplyDeletehello, I'd love to have the 1) zakka book or the 2) felt mascots or the 3) any of the fabric! Love it all.
ReplyDeleteYou make such cute things! All of the items are so cute. I wish I could win Bo-chan ;-) but I do like the fabrics. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteWOW Mairuru!!! you're so generous!!!

Thank you!!!

This is such a lovely idea. I really love the look of the sashiko embroidery book, so I think that would be my choice. I would have a hard time choosing between that and the fabrics =) You have a beautiful site, and have been a big inspiration to me.

Hi Mairuru, I love your blog and have become addicted to making the little patchworked pouches from your tutorial. I'd love to win Giveaway 1 because I'd love to try the techniques on my little pouches.
ReplyDeleteCan I please enter giveaway 3. I adore that black fabric and have just the project for it. I'm thinking that fabric chosen by you must surely inspire greatness! Victoria

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what else you will craft!
I was looking at the adorable stuff you made at Siesta and couldn't believe I've never come across your blog before. I'm from Singapore and we have our little Japan here too. I make bags and buy Japanese print whenever I can get any. I love Japanese small craft and spend many hours squatting at Kinokuniya bookstore just browsing the book covers even though I don't know any Japanese.
ReplyDeleteWould LOVE the fabric!
Thanks!
I just found your blog and I LOVE it! I'll enter for whatever is the least popular. I love them all! Thanks!!

I love your blog and have made a sarubobo pincushion like the one you made. Sadly, my daughters said it looked like a snail! I'd love to have another go, so a fabric bundle would be perfect.

Hello! What a wonderful blog you have! I would be delighted to win the fabric.
ReplyDeleteThese are such great giveaways! The little prints of the fabric looks so pretty, so I'd love to take a chance at the fabric bundle! Thank you (^o^)/
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous person you are! This is my very first day visiting your site, and I'm in love with it! I linked from your fabric hair clip tutorial. I love the japanese stitching book. I might have to do some online searching if I don't win the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric. You can never have enough. The tutorial on the fabric covered hair clips got my attention, great idea!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely!! I hope to win giveaway 1!!
ReplyDeleteHello! I would love to be entered in the drawing for the embroidery book. Thank you for the fun give-away!! xo
ReplyDeleteI would love a fabric bundle!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to find you even without the generous offer of a bundle. Whether I win or I don't win, I can tell you about felting. There is needle felting and the easier cloth felting. Yes, it is easier than you think! It is also fun. First, go find a sheep...LOL.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to us all.
So sweet!
ReplyDeleteI would like the Japanese fabrics!
The fabric! I love Japanese fabrics.
ReplyDeleteWow, I have only just found your blog, i love all your work and it shows how much you love doing it! You have inspired me to hand stitch on the things i make, thankyou! I would like giveaway 3 if i win as i love the fabrics. thanks again for the inspiration!
