Nani Iro Sewing Studio Book

Fresh from Japan, the much-anticipated collection of Nani Iro sewing patterns is finally available in English! With their simple yet artful design, the garment patterns in this book showcase the fluid movement and beautiful drape of the signature Nani Iro style. Excited to share their experience and enthusiasm for sewing, Naomi and her team invite the reader to enjoy the fun of making and wearing marvelous me-made apparel.

With detailed but easy-to-follow diagrams for every step, this one-volume wonder features 18 full-scale paper patterns with 47 awesome variations, color-coded in sizes XS-XL. Starting with simple tops and dresses which can be made in 2 to 3 hours, the patterns introduce sewing techniques that progress to more complex garments that you can enjoy creatively over the course of a day. You’ll find instructions for stitching up a wardrobe of comfortable, flowy pieces that you’ll look forward to wearing again and again, including The Basic Blouse, The Cocoon Dress, and The Everyday Jumpsuit. These patterns can be used all year round by changing the fabric from season to season: the lightweight linen coat pattern that’s perfect for spring and summer will keep you warm in winter and fall with a thick cotton/linen or wool! Fabric choice can also elevate a casual dress to an elegant atmosphere for any occasion. Inside the book you’ll find outfit inspiration for mixing and matching your me-made pieces to create artistically layered outfits -- plus, take a behind-the-scenes look at the brand’s studio in Osaka for a glimpse at the studio team’s favorite ways to style their Nani Iro pieces!
