I was given a Japanese pattern book awhile ago (thanks Kaz Kaz!) and as much as I'd like
to recommend it to people as a great little book for baby/toddler
clothing, I can't read Japanese and this one doesn't have any English on
it at all (unlike the famous Stylish Dress Book, which at least has an English title). Here's a picture of the cover at any rate in case anyone wants to do some hunting and/or translating.
The pants are made out of linen, with the pockets trimmed with some super cute Kokka fabric, which I picked specifically with my little nephew HYB in mind.
I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out, although I think my lack of Japanese reading skills resulted in slight incorrect measurements - the trouser cuffs don't actually look like cuffs but more like a standard wide hem.
My favourite bit? The super cute pockets! It's the first time I've made rounded pockets and the technique shown in the book of gathering the corners of the pocket bottoms really worked well.
Here's a close up of the pockets attached.
