"Carefree Clothes for Girls" is full of beautiful full-color photographs that reflect the distinctive Japanese craft book style. Each garment is modelled by a charming red-headed girl in natural settings, creating a feeling that is both playful and organic in style. Each project comes with clear, step-by-step instructions and detailed diagrams - perfect for the strong beginner and intermediate sewer.

I was so excited to purchase this book but when it arrived I was very disappointed... :(
I was expecting a lot more content than what was actually in the book and the patterns are SO simple it's really not even worth reading them, might be good for a very very beginner sewer.
The photography is nice and the book layout is sweet but all in all not really for me...
Clothes not only for carefree girls, but any type of little girl. This book is filled with beautiful, inspiring clothes to make for your or other little girls. Capturing the innocence, adventure and spirit of childhood, each piece is original, charming and beautiful. The patterns and directions are easy to read and the clothes are simple to make with a few tricky ones for when you become more confident. Wonderful to finally see a Japanese designer's work in English and clothes designed and made with love and care. A must for anyone who knows a little girl, who enjoys sewing and creating beautiful 'Carefree Clothes for Girls'.
Stunning photos and so many posiblities. I ve already made one dress and I have plans to make at least half of the patterns. Full size pattern sheet included so no enlarging envolved! yay for that.
