If you ever wanted to put up all the b-roll shopping footage of you just looking at fabric I would totally watch it. ❤

[@rensiamarais7975]

Me to 😂❤

[@patchwork1771]

That black floral fabric would make a really cute overalls dress

[@elainelear4982]

Japan via you & Matt is a treat. I love that last little town, so cute. And the corduroy material, yum!

[@courtneyrodulfo7761]

Please please do a video sometime about how to actually use trim when sewing to make pieces unique and beautiful because I always see trim I want to buy but I don't have any clue what to use it for! :)

[@cynthiafisher9907]

What amazing adventures you’re having in Japan! It looks so beautiful and quaint. I loved the fabric and trim shops as well. It looks like a dream trip!

[@marieomara8025]

Beautiful purchases...love the corduroy fabric

[@vegemitegirl1971]

The black courderoy was gorgeous. If I had it, I would make a skirt with the overall bib and brace top.

[@marathorne6821]

Wow, that trim shop is my idea of heaven! And as for those two fabrics, well, they are simply divine! You are having a ball, aren't you? And I'm so pleased for you 😊 Thanks for sharing your Japanese adventures with us 🙏

[@japonicakintsugi]

At Japanese craft shop, I just bought parasol kit which I can make the original parasol using any fabric! I am so exited to finish it before summer ends😊

[@sharonbrinders1224]

I really appreciate that you and Matt are sharing your amazing outings with us, totally inspiring and oh so beautiful. We get to see how stunning Japan is. Keep sending videos, loving it. Enjoy and stay blessed xxx

[@moyralouise7123]

The dusky pink trim would look beautiful with the corduroy 😊

[@janeseemann2527]

I really love your appreciation for the places you’ve visited. 😊

[@just_hopey1621]

Your trip has looked amazing! I'm so jealous and Japan is definetly on my 'To Visit' list! I am curious on how your japanese is (speaking/reading)? especially as you have been travelling to these less touristy areas! Love your videos!!

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you! Matt and I both studied the language from a textbook a good 6 months before we left and also had 3 months of lessons with a tutor too. I’m so glad we did that as it really helped us a lot in some areas, especially where the signs aren’t in English and it was also nice to be able to make conversation with people who couldn’t speak english. But honestly google translate was super handy too!

[@Lazydaisy646]

This is like finding Alladin's cave . There's very little available in NZ , I would love to visit such a beautiful array of goodies.

[@Macasmum]

You are building such precious memories. 👩‍🌾👩‍🌾👩‍🌾

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

Another beautiful video from Japan. Thank you, Janelle, for sharing. 😀 I can't wait to see what you create with all of your purchases. 🥰

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks Carolyn! I’m glad you enjoyed it x

[@c0ldlight1]

That you were able to do all this traveling is amazing. Thank you so much for these videos - they are amazing!

[@susanma4899]

I recognized Gujo-Hachiman from the very first shot! It is my favorite place in Japan, I've been there many times. We were there a couple weeks ago and stayed in a wonderful airbnb. Lots of people were swimming in the river and we took a dip as well. Gujo is famous for bon-odori, or bon dancing. At night they put candles along the riverbank and it's incredibly beautiful.

[@xxsoofiixx]

11:02 I have the exact same photo from my trip to Japan 5 years ago 😍. This flower park was so beautiful. I'm glad you were able to enjoy your time there 😊

[@svatisingh1]

So inspiring and such a beautiful journey, thank you for sharing your trip with us! Loving every moment 💕

[@meerakhew]

Loveeee watching your fabric shopping videos 😍

[@martasarber7133]

Oh Janelle, all the scenery is so beautiful. Love all the fabric shops and fabric you picked out. Love the floral dress when showing us the fabric and by the way, that new lipstick you are wearing compliments you so well. I think it looks better than the usual darker one you wear. Anyways, thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Can't wait to see the next video.

[@debbieevans7276]

❤ Glorious! So beautiful.

[@miruko_craftroom]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful journey 😊❤ Fukuoka is my hometown! I feel really happy to see you enjoying fabric shopping here 🎉Sankakuya is also my favorite fabric store😘

[@RoseryApparel]

Ahh amazing! I loved Fukuoka so much. One of my favourite places we stayed 😍

[@Luna04567]

Thanks for sharing your lovely trip! I hope to go back to Japan someday

[@happylovejojo1763]

Such a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thank you! That’s so lovely to hear x

[@SimplyKindlyMandy]

i was looking at that first trim and thought: huh is that in fashion again? looks like one from my stash, i might have an excuse to use it now!.... fun fact, im dutch 😊

[@sarajones2396]

Lovely video! My husband and I are in Japan for 10 days and we were just in Gujo yesterday! Both of us loved it and put it at the top of our list of places we'd want to return to 😊

[@everausten]

Everything is so gorgeous!! 💛

[@RoseryApparel]

It really is such a beautiful place 😍

[@magdaleenmalan6780]

Love your Japan diaries!

[@MadeByMelm]

That orange brown poppy fabric is the most delightful fabric I've ever seen 😍 and the trims are exceptional!

[@charlottesteed1026]

I got to spend about 14 months living on Kyushu and it's one of my favorite places. I'm glad you got to experience it.

[@RoseryApparel]

Such an incredible place!

[@evepaludan7713]

Wow, what an incredible video, full of lovely trims, fabrics, notions, food, scenery, relaxing travel, and even bunnies. I liked the soft jazz music for the parts of the video without the voiceovers. You have really stepped up your videomaking skills for this entire trip. This might be my favorite of your Japan Diaries. Would love to see your final, finished embroidery you have worked on this whole trip, with explanation of each part of it and what travel memory it represents. I have some Japanese cotton fabric that is of a much higher quality than the American fabric I see at my local fabric stores. Fabrics are truly special there. I cannot wait to see what you do with the pink trim. I have loved all of your Japan Diary videos so much! Thanks for sharing your trip.

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks Eve, that really means a lot 🧡 I’m so proud of my cross-stitch and plan on making a video all about it once it’s done!

[@evepaludan7713]

@@RoseryApparel I look forward to that video about the cross-stitch project! Your videos are such a treat and have made me get my sewjo back!

[@evepaludan7713]

@@RoseryApparel p.s. Your robe at the tea room was so pretty. Oh, for a tutorial on making a kimono robe...

[@olivers333]

I loved this video so much too! Omgosh those shops!! Haha you’re so right about not seeing too much corduroy and special trims in Tassie! I can’t wait to see what you make! ❤ Glad you’re home safe too! X Addit: it’s Sonia, I don’t know why it’s showing @olivers333 lol

[@SEWDOITEMMA]

Just amazing- loving watching your Japan adventures ❤

[@eebeegee8325]

Looks so beautiful! What an amazing trip! 😊

[@jenelleburton1903]

Decision paralysis. 😂 You're funny. But I can identify with the feeling. Didn't know there was a name for it.

[@moirahenriksen3527]

Stunning video, love everything you are doing and your fabric purchases.

[@user-jq6jq2jf6o]

Thank you for sharing all your Japan videos. Gujo looks right up my alley (fish alley ;) You are truly an inspiration and i feel in a way that i went to Japan too. How beautiful. BTW thanks to you and the essential club i am now a new sewer. I started this summer and have made several things. I love it!!! I can't wait for your next video lesson!

[@kpb0701]

I lived in Japan for 3 years and when I moved back, I had TONS of stuff to ship as well. I went to Japan Post and opted for sea shipping. I shipped a bunch of big boxes and even an 28inch suitcase and each item was around 5000-8000JPY, which I thought was quite affordable. Not sure if this is still available since I moved back early 2020, pre-Covid but it’s worth checking out if you wanna ship more fabrics back!

[@kpb0701]

Adding on, I was shipping from Japan to Singapore, and it took roughly a month. I sent them about 2-3 weeks before I left the country and they arrived 2 weeks after I got back.

[@helenharding1397]

How mysterious is Japan, lovely to see some different places and people. That button shop was great, 😊 and fabrics just bueatiful. Glad your having a wonderful trip ❤

[@desireedeboer9811]

Hi, Janelle, what a great video again, and what a journey you and Matt have. I love too see this video's over and over (all you video's) Enjoy your time, together, when you are still in Japan😘 Whit love Desiree 🇳🇱

[@auntiezann5146]

Love the black floral corduroy, but I laughed out loud when you pulled out the orange poppy fabric! It’s SO YOU! In fact, if I saw that fabric, somewhere, it would remind me of you! It’s so pretty! Can’t wait to see what you make with that!

[@bridgetphillips4555]

That was lovely and very relaxing to watch. Thank you for sharing. I don't know how you walked out of the shops with so little. Everything you purchased is beautiful and all the colourways suites your complexion. ♥♥

[@susanma4899]

I visited my fave Japanese fabric store recently. It's in Gifu City and is called Otsukaya. It is heaven, I know just how you felt. I bought some fabric that I'm going to use like wallpaper--it was less than 500 yen/m. I have sliding closet doors in two bedrooms and they are in pretty bad shape. I decided to cover them with fabric, so I got the same print in 2 colorways, one for each room. I also bought some (more expensive) fabric to make a blouse with. The hobby area was so incredible--I bought some little kits to make a Christmas cross stitch and Japanese style coasters. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@marionlacey1986]

Thank you for this latest video of Japan through your eyes Janelle. You make an excellent tour guide and I was mesmerised! Love the trims you chose as well as the fabrics. sigh.......🐾🥰 PS Your cross stitch is looking wonderful too

[@phyllisruchalski5037]

Beautiful!!

[@carolreece9950]

Interesting vodeo Janelle, really enjoyed ❣

[@franckelatter9829]

Love the fabric you brought, I was looking pinwhale corduroy in Queensland, no way, as I made an outfit in it when I was a teenager. Those trims are dreamy!😊

[@marilynwood6934]

Beautiful video.

[@angelicavis]

Love this video and I wish you could stay in Japan forever so I could vicariously live through you! This is one of my dreams to live there for a while... Anyway, the fabrics are gorgeous. LOVE the one with the big orange flowers. Also, so on brand ;)

[@robina3443]

Cool video!

[@libbybowles]

I’ve savored all of your Japan videos. They’ve been so intriguing and delightful. I’ve been inspired by your little cross stitch project and I’m going to start my own while I travel through Europe over the next six weeks. Do you mind if I ask which count Aida cloth you are using? I have 9 and 11 per inch and I can’t figure out which is going to work the best. 🥰

[@crystalneel748]

Wow thanks for sharing!💖 You are so much more self-controlled than me when it comes to those fabulous shops! I would find myself in a bind spending every last penny & being left broke & homeless in the streets of Japan with masses of bags of fabric & trim! 👩🏼🛒🛍️🛍️🛍️🧵🧥👘🥻👚👗👕🧺Lol🤭 Or Id have to bring a sensible escort to drag me out like a tantrum pitching toddler!😫🤭🤭🤭

[@MicheleHannan-ln3es]

I could see you making another Freya dress with the orange Poppy fabric. Like the one you made out of the tablecloth, a while back. 😍

[@RoseryApparel]

Oh 100%!!

[@susanduff-silsby2695]

Hi Janelle, sounds like you are having a great holiday. That’s lovely. I’m wondering if you have checked the prices of extra luggage for your trip home? One of my boys have moved from Perth to Melbourne and was able to get a great deal of luggage for extra dollars. Mind you, getting him, his wife and the driver into the car with 80kg of luggage was a trial! Know what you mean about lace; just trying to get a variety of white cotton lace here in Hobart is a trial. Keep having fun, regards Susan at Hobart. 💕

[@susanac5869]

I have to go back to Japan...

[@thereversepolarbear]

so gorgeous and wonderful :)

[@DebiSenGupta]

Another great video. Unfortunately I won't be going to fukuoka but wondering if you saw silk fabric in Tokyo? And what was the price like?

[@ChiaraBettaglio]

So lovely!! Can’t wait to see the trim in action!!😊 Can you tell the name of ryokan in beppu? I am planning a Kyushu trip next year for my partner 50th birthday and we would spend a few days in Beppu!

[@RoseryApparel]

How exciting! There’s a link to it in the video description. Enjoy planning your trip x

[@Emma-bv7oo]

I bet you can’t wait to use your sewing machine again. Those fabrics are gorgeous.

[@andreah1836]

That poppy fabric is amazing!!! Do you have a link to the store where you bought it?

[@RoseryApparel]

I’ve googled it, but it doesn’t look like they have an online store sorry!

[@andreah1836]

Thanks for your help. Is there any helpful info on the selvedge?

[@aebbingeable]

Your crossstithcing / embroidery looks so cute! Whats the pattern?

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks! It’s a dairy of our travels so I make them up as I go 😊

[@fiorabener7123]

Perhaps there is the possibility to find shrink bags to bring home the fabric in your luggage.

[@rosey_ie]

Hi Janelle, Could you let us know what the pattern book you showed here is called please? Thanks!!

[@TheSolipsist0]

Stop it Japan! How nice is Japan overall? It‘s even pretty then it’s ugly. It’s so calming even then vibrant. I miss that there I life. 😅 I currently can not travel there. But I will try to bring that beauty to my life in some way. Please do a „what makes Japan beautiful for me/ about Japanes asthetics“ video.
