Shitate no hon (or the best pattern book for weavers using zero waste)

This is one of the best books I’ve seen for creative clothing patterns with zero waste. Although it is in Japanese, it is easy to understand the patterns and the widths and lengths required to create the unique clothing. 54 patterns plus 2 pages full of neck/collar development and how to effectively seam with woven cloth. A real inspiration to start creating and enjoy weaving.
