Mayumi Minowa, a handmade lifestyle expert living in a traditional machiya townhouse in Kyoto, shares her unique approach to "zero-waste sewing"—creating clothing by using up an entire piece of fabric.

Inspired by the waste-free construction of traditional Japanese garments, her sewing patterns are both stylish and practical. She also introduces creative ways to use even the tiniest fabric scraps.

Beyond sewing, Mayumi applies the same “use-it-all” philosophy to daily living—offering tips on everything from storage and cooking to gardening. Learn how to make full use of orange peels, used tea leaves, and more, turning everyday leftovers into useful, sustainable solutions.
