For all those Japanese craft fans - here is a list of links I've collected with free patterns!

A great translator website for html text in Japanese is

nifty.com/globalgate

http://www.craftheart-tokai.jp/qt/qt.html
It has lots of great and fun crafts on there for all ages, by the looks of it along with lots of bag patterns!

The instructions are in Japanese – but, for most of the part, they are VERY easy to follow. The measurements are all in centimetres and/or metres – which is really quite easy to use if you are not used to metric. If you have trouble following centimetres you can use this website to help convert it to inches and feet: http://www.onlineconversion.com/length_common.htm.
