Keiko's Tiny Workshop

Back to my studio✨️
Back to the chair making ❤️


#大きい椅子造ってます

Having to stay in Tokyo a bit longer than expected due to my mum's poor health.
Amazingly I have just found this lovely shoe making workshop very close to where she lives 👞💕💫
So I'm now attending trial lessons and learning how to make children leather shoes.
It’s so enjoyable to learn a new skill with such fantastic teachers and lovely shoe makers!
I also love tea time there☕️❤️

Happy 90th birthday to my mum🎉🎂💕
This big quilted throw was our corabrative project for the last year✨️
Her sashiko stitch activity is still going, and she is working hard every day😊!! Now I am devising a new quilt project with her!

The Blue Chair
This little armchair is a family heirloom from Mother to Daughter. Its large seat springs suggest to me that the frame could be 30's Deco style🤔
It has a beautiful curved line from the back to the arms.
Its new owner chose a blue fabric as she wanted to keep the original chairs identity. I love it💙!!
It is always a real pleasure to work on furniture with so much sentimental value💫
