This book shows how to sew a yukata (summer kimono). It offers great patterns and color pairing as well as showing the correct way of dressing in a yukata and tying a sash. But this sewing pattern book is more than just that. It’s a great reference for anyone wanting to draw a young anime girl enjoying a summer festival wearing her favorite yukata and looking for a boy she has a crush on… OK, maybe that was oddly specific example, but this book did helped me on a similar assignment. This book is in great shape for its age has some yellowing but does not affect the photos or pictures.
