The Nani Iro Sewing Studio

.. My take on the product - the quality of the book itself is very good . There are 18 simple, elegant , easy to sew designs inside with beautifully shot and high quality pics . The pictorial depiction of how to sew the garment pages are also clean and easy to understand. My issue is with the patterns pages . They have printed patterns on both sides of the pattern paper . Don’t know if it is the Norm as this is my first physical purchase of patterns. Generally I buy digital where I download patterns for each design individually. They all come with size gradation unless you buy for an individual size .So now I am thinking how to trace as I planned to use almost all the patterns . Any method I use , will leave some kind of mark on the back side where that will leave some kind of marks . Which will make the already cluttered patterns even more confusing..It is already cluttered with all the patterns from 18 designs ( I understand that some patterns can be used in multiple designs ) on 3 pattern pages .So , I do not recommend this for people who are just starting out with ready made patterns ..For them I recommend to buy online digital patterns that are for single design.This is now going to be a nightmare for me to read , trace and cut . I had planned to do at least 2 sizes from at least 6 designs . Imagine my pain now .Hope this helps .

I have made several things from this book. The patterns are carefully drafted, so if you add the specified seam allowance when making your pattern and cutting your fabric, then follow the directions, the piece will go together perfectly. The directions are detailed and good, and the finished garments look well made. Be aware that an American medium is very different from Japanese medium. I love this designer and look forward to making more clothing from her books.

It is exactly Japanese , written in english , a treasure not easy to find. Just what i was lookin for.

Prompt delivery. Well packaged.Just needs large tracing paper to copy the pattern pieces.Interesting designs.
