Sewing machine
The new school term starts in April in Japan. Many public preschools and elementary schools demand that new parents prepare the specified school goods. Many mothers more than 60 years old believe it is necessary to make all specified school goods by hand to show clearly their love for their children.
Although we can buy some goods what look something like handmade at handicrafts shops etc today, there is still a lot of mothers want to make all by hand. So books how to make school items are placed at the book store's or handicrafts shop's front rack during back-to-school season.
I bought many items at shops. But I had to make three items by hand. Because we couldn't buy those at shop... Although, I didn't use my Sewing machine in Sydney, I couldn't wait to arrival of it from Sydney... I couldn't even imagine that!!!
