I Love Dresses

Hi all,
I am addicted to making things from my Japanese Pattern Books at the moment.
I just finished this lovely little dress.

I have to say that these patterns are unreal. They are precision. Every piece matches up perfectly. I guess you expect that with things that are Japanese. Alway top quality.

The most time consuming thing about making this dress was tracing the pattern pieces. Once this was done, the rest was a breeze. I will definately be making another one of these in the future.

  3. This is adorable. Those Japanese sewing books scare me a bit, but maybe I'll have to try them sometime in the future!

  4. Ah, this is adorable! (came here via Sew Much Ado) I've been leery of the Japanese Pattern books, but have heard so many rave reviews I may just have to check 'em out.

  5. Hi J-Han and Caralyn. If you know basic sewing skills you would be able to understand Japanese Pattern Books. The pictures explain it all. But just note that all measurements are done in cm not inches :)

  8. Hi cookieandclaire,
    the pattern books are great. They come with full size pattern pieces and have heaps of patterns in each book. It is great that there are boy and girl pattern in each book. The sizing is european and there are such pretty and unusual patterns that you know you probably wont see another child wearing the same outfit as yours.
