It’s a fairly well known series of patternmaking books from Japan. There are others, too, but what I love about these in particular, is that instead of just giving you the finished pattern to copy, the book explains how to draft it yourself! That way you have the possibility to make all kinds of different versions of your own using the various techniques explained. This series of booksis ideal for intermediate & advanced fashion designer/dressmaker. In the series, Tomoko Nakamichi has written4books, 3 which usewoven fabrics and one of which usesstretch fabrics. I would be lying if I said these books are good for a beginner as you need some knowledge of pattern cutting and sewing to be able to use and understand the processes required to make the designs. That said, they'realso greatbooks if you would just like some design inspiration for a collection or for fashion illustrations. The first Pattern Magic book in Japanese was published in 2005. The English edition came out later, in 2010, published by Laurence King Publishing Ltd. Nowadays you can find Pattern Magic also in German, Spanish and French. Currently there are three books on woven fabrics and one on stretch fabrics. The Author I’ve had an explosion of inspiration, and I’m not even an expert in sewing!…I’m sure that many of you, fashion designers or not, can learn a lot from these tutorials’ ImaginativeBloom.com The designs in these books are pretty unique: not exactly your everyday garments! The approach is definitely creative. It opens your mind to a completely different way of constructing patterns. It’s mostly flat-patternmaking, although many times it looks like one would have to drape to get such results.Thank you. 🙂 You can find these books in many bookshops, also online. I’m not sure which shop you have available where you live, but I think you should be able to find the best place for you by doing a google search. If I recall correctly, I bought mine from Book Depository. They ship internationally. These are really beautiful transformation, I love the nyokittos and the jungle flower. I don’t have any of the books neither have I tried any of these before. I’m now inspired to try some through your tutorials.

You can create a garment by cutting, moving and reassemblingthe piecesof a pattern, just like the pieces of. a pazzle. I’ve tried almost every design in this book and then I made my own versions of some of them by changingThe first book teaches how to insert knots, twists, cubes, holes, craters etc into your basic bodice. A version of the bamboo-bodice is in this book, too. Some techniques are surprising, as you literally attach the element with tape or pins on the garment and use style-lines to melt it into the pattern. How about you? Do you have the Pattern Magic -books? Have you made, or planned, any garments with the patterns? Links: the values and placement, or multiplying the elements. Just improvising and seeing what comes out. I mean, the book gives you the technique, but you can place the cuts differently, add more (or less) volume than it says and so on. It’s interesting to experiment. Even better if you can use a half-scale dressform. I first discovered these books during a sewing course. One of the fellow-students had brought the first two books with her in class and we were all leafing through them, amazed by the designs. Of course I then had to get the books myself, too. There’s a dress with a group of knots in the front. What a great idea! The knots create an interesting texture. I made a different version by inserting the knots on the shoulders of a bodice and added some gathering, too. Gathered bodice with knots
