Product Information

Sew chic, dark-toned clothes with this stylish sewing book and add a touch of originality to your wardrobe. Basic Black is the English edition of a classic Japanese sewing book which provides sew-it-yourself Western-sized patterns for 26 basic garments, along with detailed, easy-to-follow diagrams and instructions. Author Sato Watanabe has published many books that are favorites among Japanese sewing fans. In this book, she shows you how to make genuinely professional-quality pieces quickly and inexpensively at home. DIY Sewing designs include: Lace Shirred Blouse Tiered Sleeveless Dress Zip-up Vest with High Neck Frilled Shirt in Charcoal Flannel Short Coat And much more... All of the styles and fashion are easily customized to create your personal style, and there is something for everyone and every occasion in this book--from a bright two-texture combo dress to a relaxed, bohemian tunic--and everything in-between. All the styles are thoroughly modern and practical, ranging from softly feminine or straight-line simple to smartly-tailored or loosely-deconstructed. Simple lines make these garments perfect for women of all ages and all sizes. This book includes a complete western-sized sewing pattern for each design that is easily adjusted to fit your body form. The understated, graceful designs in this book are ones that you'll come back to again and again.

"I'm a total sucker for a Japanese sewing book and Tuttle's latest translated offering doesn't disappoint. Basic Black by Sato Wantanabe contains 26 different designs, including as the title hints a lot of useful basics." -- Ideas and Ins, "I'm so excited to add Basic Black , another lovely Japanese sewing book by Sato Watanabe, to my collection! [...] I always feel good when I wear black so I was excited to hear about Basic Black: 26 Edgy Essentials for the Modern Wardrobe . I wasn't disappointed. True to Sato's style there is a pattern in here for everything--26 in fact! Yep, that's right-- 26! Tops, dresses, jackets and more. The fabrics are interesting and the designs are more body flattering than most of the other Japanese sewing books you see on the shelves.

  • If you love to Sew; You will love and adore Basic Black with 26 Patterns!

    Basic Black is actually much more than a sewing book. The Author shares her story, including how to plan your projects, how to choose the fabric(s) that will deliver a great finish, and oh my--- the Style Choices with Patterns (neatly folded and tucked in the Back Pocketed Cover) are so versatile yet practical for everyday living. There's so much more to see, read, and experience inside the cover of this book. So, lean forward, and do yourself a great big favor.. Buy Basic Black for your sewing library!

  • It's a good book.

    I read the book, but I have not used the book. I think Ms. Watanabe provides useful techniques for sewing. Her instructions are suitable for tailoring. I think these patterns are more suitable for my nieces, and I would love to sew for them.
