There was a time when I went gaga over bento making. I would go to different branches of Japanese stores here in Manila and buy bento boxes, sushi moulds, cutters and other tools that would create cute food. I would wake up at 5am to prepare my bento box.
Here's what I did.
Now I'm shifting again to a different craft. My current fixation is my Sewshi, a sushi playset for kids and kids at heart. I started making sushi out of felt when my friend asked me to make a set for her daughter. I had too much fun making it...
...and playing with it.
For a more interesting pretend play, I made a menu and I made some parts detachable so they can mix-and-match and assemble the nigiri. Nigiri is a specific type of sushi comprised by a slice of raw fish over pressed vinegared rice.
Each SEWshi set is wrapped in furoshiki, a Japanese wrapping cloth traditionally used to transport clothes, gifts and other goods. It's eco-friendly too!If you want to have your own SEWshi Playset, just send me a private message on my facebook page.
