I want to make it all... And I've got to start wearing dresses, there are so many great ideas for a fitted bodice. Ah. I'm glad I read a teeny little bit of Japanese, but the pictures are so clear that these books are useful for anyone with just a little knowledge about pattern-construction, no Japanese-knowledge neccessary, really. I just love them! I got vol.1 and 2 in the mail today… can’t decide what to make first, it’s all so wonderful, beautiful, inspiring. I want to make it all…

These look marvelous. I love the shapes and volume in the pictures you chose, especially the tomoko book, which appears to be ALL about shape. Very cool--thanks so much for sharing these.

Love the look of 'pattern magic', the Japanese are so clever with the cutting and sculpting of their fabrics. I could play with the little charms on that necklace all day, it’s so much fun!
