Omgosh what a dreamy adventure! I don't walk very well anymore, and I struggle in my wheelchair so I barely leave my house anymore. I'm really trying to overcome it. Anyway watching videos like this fill me with a sense of adventure and curiosity that helps. I love this! Thank you!
Me to with me it's chronic fatigue syndrome alongside a few other conditions so never know how long I am going to be awake and as a cup of coffee can suddenly feel like the weight of a bucket of water shopping and being outside finally became impossible 9 years ago I like you too get great joy out of the trips creators share on You tube.
@Lynette exactly how I feel, though it's all pretty new to me. I was hooked on "heygo" until they closed the app. It was such fun to stroll through a garden in Japan and the admire the architecture in Buenos Aires, or the ruins of Pompeii... churches in Italy! Castles in Scotland! All of the things I didn't think I could see or do, but with a guide to be my eyes and legs. 🥰 I'm so sorry you experience similar challenges, but I appreciate that you shared this with me. I don't know any people who share my curiosity about the world, but physically cannot pursue it. 🫱🏻🫲🏼
@savvy9 I have looked at my TV screen as my cinema my theatre my books my travel my creative stimulation When I watch a recent film I make sure I have snacks and get settled in. Only do that when I have been awake for more than hour for 2 days on the trot. We are still us inside.😊🤗👍
Fabulous! This is the one I have been waiting for! I will be in Japan in October (I am in Oz) and I am planning on having two x half days in Nippori, looks like so much fun. I will be adding pattern books to my shopping list! Thanks Janelle.
I thought I was going to miss Nippori after becoming sick when we first arrived in Tokyo. But I got there on a very rainy overcast day. Bought 3 very Japanese inspired pieces of fabric, so was very very happy! Just realised it was only 6 days ago now, as I am home again. Thank you Janelle for letting me know about this amazing street. Highlight of my time in Tokyo!
I was so looking forward to this vlog, and wow, Nippori is just amazing! I was born and spent my childhood in the middle east, and all the women in my family are talented in sewing. So, much of my clothes growing up were lovingly made for me by my mom, grandma and aunt. Being in Asia, many of the beautiful fabrics available to us were from Japan, and so I have very fond memories of my mom making me beautiful clothes with adorable prints, buttons and trim. A trip to Japan and Nippori is now on my bucket list. Also, I loved all your new fabric finds, especially that unique eyelet/broderie anglaise one.
Wow that looked amazing I’m so jealous, our fabric choices in Australia are very limited. Cloth Edit has beautiful fabric online they are in Queensland, lots of Japanese fabric at her store. Thank you for sharing your shopping day and please go again would love to see more. ❤
This is the vlog I was waiting for! Thank you!! I live in southern Japan so I'm not able to go to Tokyo easily. I was saving up for a trip to Nippori but then I got laid off two months ago. I'll get there one day!!!
Hello there that brown gingham, could be quilted and made in to a gorgoues bed spread, with your micro, embroidery around the edges and centre. What a brilliant choice of fabrics. You can't fail
My public library system has several of these Japanese sewing pattern books. They're great. I've traced of several of the complete books. They're so easy to hack between books also. Using several details from one to another.
Carol is jealous and I am too!! Us die hard cross stitchers always pay attention to the weave in everything. Yes, I am with you on doing your micros onto the brown check fabric. Your eyelet is over the moon!!! Glad you had a great day. p.s. I probably would have left the 5 levels of fabric shopping too.
Hi Janelle,I have been to Tokyo 3 months ago and I had a very similar experience with the big Tomato Shop and then i have found myself in the smaller one buying the same burnt orange -brown color linen :) I was influence by your aesthetic when I was buying it and the fabric is AMAZING! I sewed myself a draped sleeveless blouse and an a -line midi skirt and I feel so special every time I"m wearing it. Thank You for sharing It was so nice to go back to Nippori with You. Wish You all the best,Love from Poland.
I just love the Japanese pattern. Love that oversized look and well yes Luke you said you can just tell when something looks Japanese. Wish I had the patience to sew my own Japanese looks outfits. Looking forward to see you make something from those books.
Lovely Japanese fabric shopping day video! I just spent 3 days in transit through Paris. I went to the fabric coupons stores the first day. Took a "break day" sightseeing then went back for a second day. I really enjoyed the second day and found some amazing viscose twill which I bought in several colours. It did help to let the overwhelming choice breathe for a day. I am now thinking about another reason to go to Japan!
Thank you for this amazing video, especially also for sharing your experience of being overwhelmed with all these beautiful things. Like honestly this is exactly me when I go shopping. Just feels good to know Im not the only one and its sometimes just fine and alright to go out without buying anything instead of buying something you will regret. 😊
Janelle, thank you so much for taking us fabric shopping with you in Japan, and giving me personally, an experience I will never know. Thanks to the filming skills of you and Matt I felt as though I was looking over your shoulder at all that exquisiteness! I do love your trims, buttons, and fabric choices......and those pattern books! 🐾🥰
Love the idea of the crossstitch fabric cross it will truly be a unique piece how ever long it takes,you will be surprised how quick small images get done.
Fabric stores are heaven to me!! Can never get enough! Love all your choices. The cross stitch accent material is wonderful and the off white material, here in America, it’s called eyelet material. Thank you for taking us along.
Oh, that one with all the printed denim hanging on the walls with the old man on the second floor was one of my faves! So many small prints for making doll clothes. :D
There were some super cute jumpsuits in those sewing books during your flip through of them - I would love to see you make some of those on the channel! That first gingham fabric would be perfect for any of them. 😊 Also.... so envious of your shopping trip. My hoped-for 2020 Japan trip now just seems like a surreal fantastical dream, but I really enjoy these "diaries". 😊
Great finds! You managed a balance between things you know you like but with new and interesting elements. It’ll be fun seeing you bring your style sensibility to those more avant-garde patterns!
I'm learning alot I never knew Japan had so much fabric. You should buy some silk. Here in the US we have mostly quilting cotton, I wish we had rayon challis but I don't want to buy online without feeling it. Have a peaceful week. thank you for your vlogs
I would love to go to Nippori fabric shopping! Here in Hawaii it is quite difficult to find quality knits and linens. You’ve got quite a haul, cant wait to see what you’re going to make. Thanks for sharing! 18:25
Loved this video and I would be overwhelmed just like you too. Your content is amazing and binge worthy and can’t wait to see your end design with the new fabric.
11:42 I suggest you make the garment first, and then embroider squares one by one. That way you can still wear it out as you are continuously embellishing it. Plus, you won't have to worry about cutting into a square you worked so hard on when you pattern it out.
I LOVE the white fabric! It totally looks like cute pieces of toast or loaf cake to me! Super cute! I hope you return and pick up a few quirky or whimsical fabrics like the tomato buttons you found. Japanese is full of quirk and whimsy 😊
Your finds are so beautiful and so you! This blue linen fabric is so special. It was also so nice to follow your adventures in Nippori ! I recently purchased two japanese fabrics from Nani Iro and I was astonished with the quality. I also feel you with the sewing books, I have several from japanese creators and they are so inspiring x
You could spend weeks getting round all those shops. I love gingham and add some ruffles and you’ve got perfection. 5hanks for the brilliant look into the Japanese way of life.❤️❤️❤️
I definitely have to go to fabric town - 5th floor at Tomato for patchwork fabric. Now I need some broderie anglaise, which I didn’t know I needed. Thanks for taking us along on your shopping trip.
Thankyou Janelle, I’m definitely going to get myself to Nippori next year! I would describe current Japanese pattern book fashion as sorta Lagenlook with a dash of cottagecore; roomy and cute. That said, you need to be careful with pattern and fabric choices with those fashion styles if you don’t have a waif-like figure - I’m size16 and my first Japanese pattern book dress made me look like a floor rug, just one big slab of pattern. I now use much larger prints or textured plains for these patterns. Finally, I feel you with the overwhelm at Tomato store, great idea to go to the smaller ones.
Janelle, thanks for the ‘armchair’ tour of Nippori fabric stores. I have never heard of it before so it was eye-poppingly good! Those pattern books had me swooning. I look forward to seeing some made from the beautiful fabrics you bought.
Thanks for the recommendation Janelle!! Went to Nippori last week and was gobsmacked... I had planned an afternoon for the street but only managed to cover 2 tomato buildings. The main one was really quite overwhelming! But I had so much fun... also, can we talk about how affordable the cotton trimmings are? In Spotlight, they go for $12/m but they were so affordable there!
Come visit London one day, we have a shop that has several fabric shops on it - it's called "Goldhawk Road". I haven't been there for some years, but now that I'm back in London (spent 2020 to 2023 with the family in Sydney, just recently came back here), and now that your videos have inspired me to start sewing again, I'm definitely going to make a trip there soon :)) you're so inspiring, thank you for your great work 💕
I've been to Nippori 3 times. I was overwhelmed by the larger 🍅 store. My hubby leaves me there before they open and comes back for lunch. Near Kamata station, is also an amazing 5 floor fabric store called Yuzawaya. You can get a 5% off all purchases if you get a members card. The checkout lady did this for me last time. They also have Art supplies to die for.
Gorgeous choices as usual Janelle! Love those books too! So glad you’re having a great time.. it sure is flying. Thanks for taking us shopping with you!❤
Official fabric envy! The broderie is adorable. I can see a suit, with a swing jacket and a slim skirt. And a linen (caramel) top? In the past I came across Japanese fabrics that I loved but were only available in 35 inch width. Looks like that is not an issue. Thank you for the adventure. Happy stitching.
You had way more self control than me, I would have been so overwhelmed I would buy everything I see 😂I LOOOVE those sewing books! I have heaps just to look at the beautiful pictures, but the few designs I've made from them are just the most comfy pieces of clothing that exist. I use a wheelchair so unfortunately you can't appreciate all the little details that go into the otherwise simple designs but at least I feel like a linen marshmallow cloud.
I really love the floral fabric and the strawberry trim! I remember visiting all the tomato shops and being overwhelmed too. Because I don't sew, I didn't buy anything but my friend who was into leather accessories bought some scrap pieces.
I absolutely love the broaderie anglaise fabric! It's so freaking cute. And it's really cool that the selvage edge is scalloped. I also love the floral fabric and the flower buttons. The pattern books look interesting. Lovely haul. 💕
That is my dream. I’m so pleased you took us along with you. Your purchases are beautiful. Absolutely love the pattern books. You definitely have to go back. ❤
Thanks for taking us shopping with you! I was in Nippori a few years back but it happened to be on one of the holidays so most of the shops were closed 😢 but I’m hoping to be back in August!
Please make videos of what you finally decide make with your fabrics. The textures of all your picks are so wearable. It is the type of material when wearing that you forget about because it that comfortable. I have dreamed about having access to those kinds of fabric stores with those types of textures to pick from.
Im not jealous!! Ah who am I kidding, holy cow those fabric shops looked amazing!!!! Beautiful fabric haul too!! Can't wait to see what your going to make with your beautiful buys!!! Also those books, ihave about 5/6 Japanese sewing books and im in love with them, cant wait to see what patterns you use!!xx
Make a Rosary Apparel pattern book!
I second that
Third in line!!! 🩵🤍🩷

Omgosh what a dreamy adventure! I don't walk very well anymore, and I struggle in my wheelchair so I barely leave my house anymore. I'm really trying to overcome it. Anyway watching videos like this fill me with a sense of adventure and curiosity that helps. I love this! Thank you!

@Lynette exactly how I feel, though it's all pretty new to me. I was hooked on "heygo" until they closed the app. It was such fun to stroll through a garden in Japan and the admire the architecture in Buenos Aires, or the ruins of Pompeii... churches in Italy! Castles in Scotland! All of the things I didn't think I could see or do, but with a guide to be my eyes and legs. 🥰 I'm so sorry you experience similar challenges, but I appreciate that you shared this with me. I don't know any people who share my curiosity about the world, but physically cannot pursue it. 🫱🏻🫲🏼
@savvy9 I have looked at my TV screen as my cinema my theatre my books my travel my creative stimulation When I watch a recent film I make sure I have snacks and get settled in. Only do that when I have been awake for more than hour for 2 days on the trot. We are still us inside.😊🤗👍
Fabulous! This is the one I have been waiting for! I will be in Japan in October (I am in Oz) and I am planning on having two x half days in Nippori, looks like so much fun. I will be adding pattern books to my shopping list! Thanks Janelle.
I’m so excited for you! Good idea going for multiple days, there’s a lot to look through 😍
I thought I was going to miss Nippori after becoming sick when we first arrived in Tokyo. But I got there on a very rainy overcast day.

Oh WOW!! Talk about heaven on earth!! Thank you for taking us along…..but you simply MUST go back. We want MORE!! 😎👍😂😘💃🏻
Yep I think I need to go back for sure! Literally heaven 😍
I still have fabric I bought on Fabric Street when I went to Japan. Such a fun memory. I did go to that 5 story store too.
Hello there that brown gingham, could be quilted and made in to a gorgoues bed spread, with your micro, embroidery around the edges and centre. What a brilliant choice of fabrics. You can't fail
Oh, i am now officially in love with Japan! One day. One day i’ll have to visit that place! Such an inspiring video! Thanks so much for making my day!

Fabric shopping in Japan is definitely on my bucket list! I loved seeing what you picked up!
I’m going in 2024! Thanks for sharing your trip. I’m looking forward to my visit
I went into that same small store where the older man there served me too. It's a few years since I visited and now I want to go back.😁
Such a magical store 😍
Wow! Truly paradise. Must find a way to visit.
That's incredible! Thanks for this lovely video!❤ you found some gorgeous pieces of fabric!
Oh my goodness! I would have emptied my wallet in those beautiful fabric shops! Such pretty purchases!
Fabrics are amazing! I’m living in US now and fabrics here are 105-112 cm wide. I miss fabric with 140-150 cm wide🥰
I love those pAttern books….. so enjoying your journey….and I’m so jealous of the linen!
Fabric stores are heaven to me!! Can never get enough! Love all your choices. The cross stitch accent material is wonderful and the off white material, here in America, it’s called eyelet material. Thank you for taking us along.
Oh, that one with all the printed denim hanging on the walls with the old man on the second floor was one of my faves! So many small prints for making doll clothes. :D
Sooo much to look at at that store, one of my favourites for sure! 😍
Gorgeous fabric finds! I can't get over how pretty and clean Japan looks. Watching your footage I can't see a single scrap of trash anywhere. Amazing!
It’s soo organised and clean here! Shocks me every time 😍
fabric shopping in Japan! What a dream! Thank you for sharing your time there :)

That black dress at 16:17 is the coolest thing ever. :O

I love all your fabrics but I think the brown gingham was my favourite. The shops looked amazing x
Loved this video, thank you so much for sharing Janelle. Look forward to seeing your Japanese inspired tutorials. Xxx

That was so fun! It's so cool to see someone living my fantasy! LOL
Very lucky. The stores look so appealing.

Love to see more
Love your channel. You've combined two of my loves - sewing and Japan! I've subscribed.
Thank you! And thanks for following along 🧡
I really love the floral fabric and the strawberry trim! I remember visiting all the tomato shops and being overwhelmed too. Because I don't sew, I didn't buy anything but my friend who was into leather accessories bought some scrap pieces.
I absolutely love the broaderie anglaise fabric! It's so freaking cute. And it's really cool that the selvage edge is scalloped. I also love the floral fabric and the flower buttons. The pattern books look interesting. Lovely haul. 💕
What s wonderful place to shop!
My reason to visit Japan is to tour their gardens and fabric shops, I would want to go into each fabric shop. Love the eyelet lace you purchased.
That is my dream. I’m so pleased you took us along with you. Your purchases are beautiful. Absolutely love the pattern books. You definitely have to go back. ❤
The floral fabric is soooo dreamy❤🌸
Thanks for taking us shopping with you! I was in Nippori a few years back but it happened to be on one of the holidays so most of the shops were closed 😢 but I’m hoping to be back in August!
What beautiful, unique finds! 🙌
What a fun day. I can understand the overwhelm. Hoping to do the same next year.
I just got back from Japan. I wish I knew about this!!! ❤❤❤
Oh yes, it was a good shopping trip 😍 thanks for bringing us along!
Please make videos of what you finally decide make with your fabrics. The textures of all your picks are so wearable. It is the type of material when wearing that you forget about because it that comfortable.

I miss fabric shopping in Japan so much🥹 thanks for sharing!
I love Nippori❤heaven, 10 years go I was there too..long time eh. I just start how to sewing…I remember I buy fabric $2 per meter for special price..
I need to check this area out when I go to Japan.
The white grid design one is very pretty
I love japanese fabric. Nani Iro ones are my favorite♥
Wonderful quality. I would return and purchase more for sure.
