Pattern Magic or TR Pattern Cutting anyone sewing through the books?
Sew Whatever Expert/Couture UNITED KINGDOM Member since 5/24/10 Posts: 315	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/1/12 6:38 PM Is anyone on PR working their way through the Pattern Magic books? I got the first 2 books recently and hope to begin trying some of the patterns out. As well as that, Has anyone tried any of the pattern cutting from Shingo SatoTR Pattern Cutting? I have 3 more weeks of teaching, then a holiday and a textile art deadline.Then I want to work my way through some of the ideas. Once I get my head round it better, I'd like to try some of my own twists...but that is getting ahead of my self. But, if there is a blog where someone is already working through them, that would be a great help! ------ Sandy in the UK A practitioner of the Chop, Chop, Sew, Sew method of sewing (otherwise known as Make It Up in Your Head!)

Thanks for the link to the other site. ------ so many patterns, clamouring to be sewn http://patternpandemonium.wordpress.com/

That was enough to give me what I wanted from the book -- a better understanding of how three dimensional effects are created in two dimensions . ------ The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale.

It's not hard, per we, but it definitely helped me to talk to him in person to understand what was as going on. The Center for Pattern Design has a book which is great at showing the details of some of Shingo-san's designs. Transformational Reconstruction book ------ http://asgchicago.wordpress.com

I am thinking about getting the book, but it is somewhat dear in price. Sorry I didn't get back straight away. My MIL had a fall and we had to go up to York for a few days. I won't be able to start on these til September. But I am looking forward to it. It might be more incentive if there was someone willing to have a go at the same time. Maybe nearer the time I will post something in the Sew-Along section. ------ Sandy in the UK A practitioner of the Chop, Chop, Sew, Sew method of sewing (otherwise known as Make It Up in Your Head!)
