    how to make kimono for the "textile artist"
  

*by F***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2004*

With lovely photography and some great illustrations of antique kimono (including the one on the cover) this book seems promising, but the approach to sewing kimono is not authentic - the entire construction of the lined kimono is non traditional, for example (perhaps to try to make it easier for machine sewing?) The author's knowledge of kimono also seems a little shaky in parts (such as labelling one example of haori as a child's kimono).  A large amount of the book is taken up with Japanese workwear and seems to be trying to cover much of the same ground as John Marshall did in "Make your own Japanese Clothes"; indeed, some of the non-traditional sewing "shortcuts" that are used in his book but not in genuine Japanese sewing (such as sleeve linings being made 100% separate from the sleeve and only attached at the cuff and back) seem to be copied here.  Probably more for the quilter, embroiderer or dyer who wants to make a Japanese style garment than for true kimono afficionados, for whom Marshall's book would be the better buy.

    Really good book
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 February 2020*

Cannot wait to have a go. Enlarging the patterns seem a bit daunting but I think the end result will be worth the effort.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Inspiration
  

*by B***G on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2010*

An interesting book, and with a little inspiration it is easy to create new versions of this comfortable and elegant clothing that never dates. Beautiful photographs.
