I haven’t posted about one of my newer japanese children’s pattern book aquisitions. The lady at the japanese bookstore always greets me happily when she sees me again. She knows that I’ll be leaving the store with at least 1 new purchase. Again, I have no idea what the title is. Maybe Liz can help me out again?!
This book is a lovely book which uses a lot of natural fiber fabrics in its styles: Hemp, Linen and Cottons (or at least that is what it looks like). I have made a couple of pieces with it already, some of which I haven’t posted yet. But anyways, hope you enjoy having a closer look and maybe get inspired buying a copy yourself?
I made the longer top with the open back and tie-closure in July and am still due to post about it. Next week latest. I promise.
Style H, on the right is the pattern I used for the little natural dyed tunic i made a couple of months back.
Style N, the skirt on the right was basis for this skirt where I salvaged an old Linen tunic of mine.

I have this book as well and it has become my favorite of all my Japanese books. I call it the ‘four seasons’ book because of the way it shows seasonal wardrobes.
Based on your other choices, some children’s designers you might also like are C’est Dimanche, Citronille, and Clever Charlotte.
I will check those out! Thanks for the tips and you are right – it’s my favorite sewing book so far as well!
