I'll be curious to see what you choose to do with that precious Nani Iro fabric. I made a top with the white version from the Stylish Dress Book and I adore it.karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00046769684699969104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6788067537879713934.post-45095026556355784862008-11-20T19:39:00.000-05:002008-11-20T19:39:00.000-05:00Oh my, I love that fabric!

I have not used this pattern book but I have been reading Japanese patterns for longer than I care to admit. Just email me pictures of the instructions and I am most willing to help. One note of advice is that NO Japanese pattern books give you seam allowances. You need to look at the pictures and you will see numbers. The first time I looked and went okay and ignored them (my Japanese was way dodgy then as well...), I learnt the HARD way that that's what the numbers were for.... :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
