DIY day in our office

We had a fun DIY day in our office today. Pui Chi, my sister-in-law, came to our office to start her own new project. We work together with her to help her make her own chop collection and she will also make some buttons for our shop. We ordered all the machines and equipment already and today we tried out all of them. She made some really cute buttons with some leftover Hello Kitty fabrics and Japanese fabrics. Then we tried out the chop machine. I was really surprised, the chop making machine is amazing. The quality of the final product is really, really good. I documented our day with some pictures:

we dropped a few drops of ink onto the chop sponge and started testing. The result is very nice and very detailed.

Our destination was “Okadaya“, a multi-level fabric shop I heard about online. We checked out all floors, unfortunately I wasn’t that excited about it as we saw a lot more in Fabric Town in Nippori before already. However, the shop opposite, which also belongs to Okadaya, is totally worth a visit. See some pictures below:
