Description :

SHAPE SHAPE 2 – SEWING FOR MINIMALIST STYLE by Natsuno Hiraiwa. Softcover. 2013, Interweave Press (Loveland CO). 119 pages. 14 designs with unmarked & uncut folded multi-size pattern inside back cover envelope.  Pattern & directions in English.  Book measures approx. 10” H x 8” W.

UNIQUE CLOTHES ANY WAY YOU LIKE by Natsuno Hiraiwa. Softcover. 2007, Bunka Shuppankyoku (Tokyo, Japan). 76 pages. 19 designs with unmarked & uncut folded multi-size pattern inside back cover envelope. Please note that this book is in Japanese, with the directions and patterns also in Japanese. See note below. Book is slightly smaller than previous one.

Hiraiwa is a Japanese designer with Paris roots. Clothingpatterns in both books are all VERY simple but have that beautiful Japanese minimalist aesthetic. The English book has very easy and quick designs simple enough for a beginner sewist or for a more experienced sewist who needs to have something done quickly! The second book is a bit more involved because of the language barrier, but if you have basic sewing skills and know proper order of assembly, you will be able to follow the copious illustrations and the pattern designs with a bit of concentration, especially if you work through the English book first.
