There are at least four patterns that I'd like to sew. I have been sewing a long time and it's refreshing to see some patterns with interesting details, e.g., the tucks in the tiered dress, embroidered running stitches, shirred sleeves, etc. A lot of the patterns have a tailored and refined look that I like. The fabrics used are also interesting, dobby, jacquard, corduroy. The patterns I've seen in other Japanese sewing books have seemed more basic and frankly similar to what the Big 4 and some indie patterns offer, i.e., lots of girlish tops and dresses with gathers and ruffles. There are so many books out there for beginning sewers and this isn't one of them (thankfully for us more experienced sewers who would like to sew something more challenging). The pattern instructions look detailed enough for me. I find schematics easier to use than written instructions. This is my first Japanese sewing book and I can't wait to dive in! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love *by on Reviewed in the United States January 28, 2017* when I first looked at this book When I bought it (2 or more years ago) I was underwhelmed.I have been slowly decluttering s o it was in my BIG box to pass on.At the last minute I decided to take a second look.And this time - I was Over whelmed. Maybe I was just not skilled enough to appreciate the patterns when I took my first look? But 2 years later I find the the lines of the patterns gorgeous as well as the lovely presentation. As always, I will make changes to the patterns as that is what I do but the book is inspiring me to try new and more innovative ways of sewing and embellishing.Wonderful book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some interesting patterns *by on Reviewed in the United States August 27, 2019* I love most of the patterns available in this book. They are basically simple and alternations are extremely easy. I had a good laugh at a friend who is very literal in her approach to life -- she thought it a bit limited since they were presented in black. She also has fits that I use a hall table in the pantry as a work center :-) These are great additions to a core wardrobe. ## Frequently Bought Together - Basic Black: 26 Edgy Essentials for the Modern Wardrobe - Stylish Party Dresses: 26 Easy and Inexpensive Sew-It-Yourself Dresses for that Special Occasion - Cotton Friend Sewing: The clothes I want to wear this winter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1823662-basic-black-26-edgy-essentials-for-the-modern-wardrobe](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1823662-basic-black-26-edgy-essentials-for-the-modern-wardrobe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
