    Thank you! I used a very lightweight, sheer, woven cotton.

  A huge improvement on the original! At least in terms of wearability. Love your Japanese series, so inspiring..

  Wow thats amazing, you are inspiring, like Redsonia i would never have thought that a wearable thing, but i guess they are there to make you think and adapt jj:)x

    Thanks! Yes, some of the designs in pattern Magic series seem a bit strange at first, but I think they are meant to lift us out of our stereotyped ways of viewing clothing

  Great interpretation of the original idea that seemed unwearable to me. You inspired me to try sewing something from the book. I saw the book in the Italian bookshops and it is avaliable only in English.

    Thank you! I have this book in English too, and the other two Pattern Magic books I have the Japanese versions. I think the diagrams are very clear in explaining how you are meant to go about drafting the patterns, so it is worth trying them out, even if you don’t speak the language.
