A practical and inspirational book for dressmakers, quilters and embroiderers who have long coveted the style of Japanese clothes, in particular the kimono. Expert dressmaker and quilter Jenni Dobson takes you through the techniques for making Japanese clothes with simple step-by-step processes, but goes further, covering details on Japanese design and the various techniques for embellishing Japanese clothes. Colourfully illustrated with images of finished garments as well as practical diagrams and patterns for dressmaking, the author has deliberately made all the garments accessible even for those with limited experience of dressmaking, but there are plenty of ideas to inspire those more accomplished readers.

Jenni Dobson studied at art colleges in Coventry and Manchester in the 1960s, eventually specialising in textiles. In 1983 she gained a post-graduate diploma in adult education, and began freelance writing for adult education journals. Since taking up quiltmaking full time Jenni hasn't looked back. She has had quilts exhibited in the United States, Europe, Japan and Korea. She is a member of the British Quilt Study Group, has contributed to a number of magazines, and appeared on both television and radio.
