[...] make a note here about drafting out this pattern, that I didn’t mention in the post about my first style “B” top in nani IRO. When tracing out the pattern pieces for the sleeve you’ll notice that the two sleeve pieces [...]

all right….you’ve totally convinced me! you should be getting credit for all of us who are purchasing these books, and the nani iro fabrics! i just spent my birthday money on two of the books and several yards of her delicious fabric! I’m hoping the details in the book will suffice, since I can’t decipher japanese characters! maybe i’ll contact you if i have any questions! love your photos, thanks for the details about the books as well as the projects you’ve made! thanks, thanks, thanks!!

melissa – i have that book too! for the sewing, it’s partly experience, but also looking at the instruction page. even though i can’t read the instruction, they number each of the steps on the photos. i just follow those carefully and hope for the best!

ella – i love that everyone owns this book. i’m trying to decide which one to make next. which other ones have you tried?

I made that top, too! Only in a size or two too large…but still, I love it. Yours is PERFECT. So cheery and sweet.

that’s so funny karyn because i was just talking to you about japanese pattern books tonight!
i looove it!
this is the book that i was talking about: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=11209363
i got it from pomadour too.
how do you figure out what to sew first? or is it just from experience? your top and this post are inspiring me to make clothes again!

Amanda – sometimes it’s so hard to decide what to make out of fabric that you love so much. i hope you find the perfect project for your yuwa fabric! i think you’ll really like the scent for celebration. i know a girl (i won’t mention names) that washed everything she owned in it, just so she could smell it every time she opened her closet!

Bobbinoggin – aw, thanks!

Rebecca – i just WISH i could read japanese. imagine how useful that would be?! when you get this book, you will love it guaranteed.

Claudia – which ones have you made from the book? you should definitely post photos!

Anabela – you should have seen how s-l-o-w-l-y i stitched the binding on to get it as straight as possible. i know, sometime pre-washing can really get in the way of spontaneous sewing. i’ve heard of some people who pre-wash 2-4 times before using fabric!!

Rashida – this fabric is so stash-worthy… in every single colour. i hope i can order more of it.

Venus – i’m sorry! that’s why i try not to even look in her etsy shop, i can never resist. i hope you’ll post up photos when you get yours in the mail.

melinda – sola is so lovely, i just have terrible weakness for anything sweet – it reminds me of dessert, my favourite meal.
