Hi Clara, have you been able to resolve your pattern printing woes? I really hope that these aren't the purchased ones. Be sure you keep a record of date and time you bought them. Hope all is well. I am now trying to download a Russian CAD/printing (free) program. I love to suffer in foreign languages. Nehmah

The web address is (otsukaya.co.jp) On the home page (top center) are two sets of characters. Click on the left on and a triple list of patterns in Japanese comes up. OR, go to the site for (tipnut.com) run down the list for {56 free aprons}; about #12, I think she mentions a pattern in Japanese,(she thinks-it is) click on that and you find patterns there. Good hunting. Nehmah

Hi Clara, Afraid I had a new "pillowcase" I do not know exactly where I went wrong. So, for now, I am still with all of the early Folkwear patterns. Not a bad place to be. I shall persevere. There has to be a photo somewhere.
I don't know if you like diagrammed patterns, but I was looking up a reference and stumbled into a Japanese website for the Otsukaya corp. (Can you imagine living where a fabric store is five to six stories high?!?) They publish seventy 1- & 2-page pattern sheets. While the patterns are written in Japanese, if you have been sewing for a while you will do well with them. I just realized I cannot see the web address. When I find it I will post to your wall. Cordially, Nehmah
