I could see changing this up just a bit and making it into a bee, a little black and yellow and there you go.

This pattern can be found in a book called "Omiyage- Handmade Gifts from Fabric in the Japanese Tradition" by Kumiko Sudo - and it is in English.

sorry, I am French, and my english is not very well.
a cutie could translate for you? or use an online translator

christracey by christracey 21 Aug 2011

Thanks but I'm not sure how to use a translator. One sight I know of has a button to click on to translate it but I couldn't find one on this site.
