The Nani Iro Sewing Studio: 18 Timeless Patterns to Sew, Wear & Love

Because her clothes designs are so wonderful, I adore her work and she also designs fashion fabrics, I bought this book. With the double whammy, I am pairing the designs with my somewhat experience with customizing the adjustments to adapt to my American, older body and overall size. As she is Japanese, Asian women are traditionally smaller in size and dimensions. So her patterns would not match me. So, I have experience to expand and personally customizing patterns, made by Vogue, Simplicity and occasionally McCalls. I adore her styles and look forward to making her pieces. Super happy to have found her book of designs. Bought some Swedish transfer paper to take theese patterns and upside and personalize. Want to buy her purse pattern book if she ever rolls out with that ... Cuz I adore her handbags!!! Found an American importer of her fabrics and will be buying her fabrics .... Time to up my fashion senses and style. Hope others buy this because this gal "has it going on". I also like Danish, Swedish clothes designers. They have super style sense! Also like period clothing styles of world wide cultures. Seems everyone has great things to personalize and alter in fashion design. Super happy with the book! You will too.

Gostei muito dos modelos.

.. 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 .

Libro ben fatto, chiaro

I like the layout and the photos. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Just be aware that the sizes are given by slim oriental figures so the note to take your own measurements is good advice. Looking forward to trying more designs.
