Review: Pattern Magic 1 + 2 by Tomoko Nakamichi
English For the first time Pattern Magic 1 and 2 (the cult pattern-cutting book from Japan) has been published in English! I must be honest and say that I didn’t know this artist before. I know these books can seem slightly different from those of which I speak normally here on IB but reading them I’ve had an explosion of inspiration, and I’m not even an expert in sewing and even less in fashion design!
Some inspiration I had…
In front of these real “Sculptures of clothes” my mind began to wonder about what kind of things is possible to create taking inspiration from them. For example, I realized that many of the details in these three-dimensional works could go also on a fabric doll, on a super original bag, on a unique pillow, a bedspread or millinery articles and hats. Imagine these protruding and falling shapes on them!
A super useful thing I found in these books is that EACH of the projects shown has its own tutorial with text, measurements and step by step images that show you how to create the paper pattern. This allow you also to learn new sewing techniques.
And what about the application of these ideas of three-dimensional shapes with holes, cones, cubes, balls, accordions… to other materials? Yes, think to the clay. It can be thinning and modeled using these patterns to recreate a realistic bow (in the “Pattern Magic 1″ book there are various example of bows) or an original tie. I think it’s amazing.
Some specification…
Both Pattern Magic 1 and Pattern Magic 2 has 200 illustrations each one, 104 pages and are 257 x 190 mm.
They come in a soft cover and are published by Laurence King, from which you can also buy them online.
About the author…
“After serving many years as a professor at Bunka Fashion College, Ms. Nakamichi currently delivers lectures and holds curses on design making, both in Japan and overseas. This book brings together the results of the research on garment patterns she has carried out to help instruct her students.”
I decided to review these books because of their peculiarities and the inspiration they gave to me. I’m sure that many of you, fashion designers or not, can learn a lot from these tutorials and bring to life original ideas using their own creativity.
Italiano Per la priam volta Pattern Magic 1 e 2 (il libro cult dal Giappone sul taglio del cartamodello) e stato pubblicato in Inglese! Devo essere onesta e dire che non conoscevo questa artista prima. So che questi libri possono sembrare leggermente differenti da quelli di cui parlo di solito qui in IB ma leggendoli, ho avuto un’esplosione di ispirazione, e non sono neanche un’esperta di cucito, men che meno in fashion design!
Alcune delle ispirazioni che ho avuto…
Di fronte a queste vere e proprie “Sculture di vestiti” la mia mente ha iniziato a immaginare che tipo di cose sia possibile creare prendendo ispirazione da esse. Per esempio, ho realizzato che molti dei dettagli di questi lavori potrebbero anche finire in una bambola di stoffa, in una borsa super originale, un cuscino unico, un copriletto, in articoli di modisteria e cappelli. Immaginateli con queste protuberanze e queste rientranze!
Una cosa che ho trovato super utile in questi libri è che ognuno dei progetti mostrati è accompagnato dal suo tutorial con testo, misure e una serie di immagini passo passo che ti mostrano come si crea il cartamodello. Questo ti permette anche di imparare nuove tecniche di cucito.
E che ne dici dell’applicazione di queste idee di forme tridimensionali con buchi, coni, cubi, sfere, fisarmoniche… ad altri materiali? Si, pensa ad esempio alle paste sintetiche come il fimo. Può essere steso e assotigliato per creare una sorta di “foglio” del giusto spessore per poter essere poi modellato usando questi modelli per ricreare dei fiocchi realistici (nel Pattern Magic 1 ci sono vari esempi di fiocchi diversi) o una cravatta originale. Fantastico.
Qualche specifica…
Entrambi i libri, Pattern Magic 1 e Pattern Magic 2 hanno 200 illustrazioni l’uno, 104 pagine e misurano 257 x 190 mm.
Hanno una copertina morbida e sono pubblicati da Laurence King, da dove potete anche acquistarli online.
L’ autrice…
“Dopo aver prestato servizio per molti anni come professoressa al Bunka Fashion College, la signora Nakamichi attualmente tiene conferenze e corsi sul design, sia in Giappone che all’estero. Questo libro raccoglie i risultati della ricerca sui modelli di abbigliamento che ha effettuato per istruire i suoi studenti.”
Ho deciso di recensire questi libri proprio per la loro particolarità e per l’ispirazione che hanno suscitato in me. Sono sicura che molti di voi, fashion designers e non, possono imparare molto da questi tutorials e dare vita a nuove ed originali idee usando la propria creatività.

Reviews for "The Dark Knight's Prophecy: The Curse of the Black Blade Revealed"
1. Jake - 2/5
"Dark Knight Curse of the Black Blade was a disappointment for me. The story lacked depth, and the characters felt one-dimensional. The action scenes were poorly executed and lacked any real sense of excitement. Overall, I found the film to be dull and forgettable."
2. Emily - 1/5
"I was extremely disappointed with Dark Knight Curse of the Black Blade. The plot was confusing and poorly developed, making it difficult to follow the story. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it hard to connect with the characters. The special effects were also subpar and failed to create a visually immersive experience. I would not recommend this film to anyone."
3. Sarah - 2/5
"I had high expectations for Dark Knight Curse of the Black Blade, but unfortunately, it fell short. The pacing was slow, and the film dragged on with unnecessary scenes. The performances from the actors were underwhelming, lacking the energy and charisma needed to bring the characters to life. The script felt uninspired and failed to deliver any memorable moments. Overall, it was a forgettable film that I would not recommend."
4. Michael - 2.5/5
"Dark Knight Curse of the Black Blade had a promising concept, but the execution left much to be desired. The film had potential, but it felt rushed and lacked proper development. The action scenes were decent, but they couldn't compensate for the weak storytelling. The ending felt anticlimactic and left me unsatisfied. I wouldn't consider it a complete waste of time, but it certainly didn't live up to my expectations."
