I’ve had this book for a couple months now and I’m psyching myself up for trying one of these patterns soon. This is not the typical Japanese dress book that I normally work with. This one focuses on knits and creating amazing shapes through the way the fabric is cut, gathered and draped. It’s pretty incredible. A lot of these dresses are like soft sculpture!
I’ll admit that I’m slightly intimidated by it, but figure I’ll start off with the easiest looking one and see what happens!
