I have a bit of an obsession with Japanese things. Like everyone, we’ve been trying to save money around here but I couldn’t resist this fabric from Superbuzzy. It’s for sundresses that I think the girls will wear all summer, so I wanted similar but not matching fabrics that I could stand to look at often. These are from one of my all-time favorite fabric collections, Lecien’s My Folklore. More and more shops are carrying Japanese fabrics, including the popular Kokka and Echino by Etsuko Furuya.
Here are some shops that specialize in Japanese fabric and craft supplies:
Fabricworm: lots of Japanese fabric, plus other designer fabrics.

good-ness: Etsy shop featuring books, fabric, stamps, gocco supplies, etc.
Karaku: Etsy shop with fabric, stamps and paper goods.
