Hi there!
From the 4th floor, we’d like to introduce Sewline, well-known for its marking tools in patchwork!
Did you know? Sewline items aren’t just for making patchwork and quilt projects—there are actually many useful tools for embroidery and doll-making too!
In this post, we’ll also share how to use each product and our top recommendations.

What is “Sewline” ?
At our company, the Sewline series—especially the mechanical pencil type—is super popular.
Interestingly, Sewline actually started out as a patchwork and sewing brand overseas.
Before the Sewline series arrived in Japan a few years ago, the mechanical pencil type markers here were mainly from a brand called KARISUMA.

While KARISUMA’s image color was blue, Sewline’s is pink—so the impression is completely opposite!
Now, only the Sewline series is available in this style, but our customers keep telling us how easy to use these products are, and they’ve been very well received.
By the way, our company also hosts in-store demonstrations!
We make sure to answer your questions carefully, so if you’re curious about any of the products, please feel free to ask us.
※For the schedule of upcoming demonstrations, please check the “Events” page below.
Features of “Sewline”
- Designed with ease of use in mind for patchwork and sewing lovers—for example, the lines stay the same thickness even after repeated marking.
- The brand color pink and the butterfly motif are used throughout the products and packaging.
“Sewline” Series Product Introduction
