It’s been a while since I did a New Releases post, mainly because there are less sewing books published during the winter months and more crochet and knitting related books. The second reason is because I still have a number of books to review and I’m stopping myself from buying more. I’m not sure if I can hold off the book ban any longer because everytime I compile a New Releases post, I feel the need to buy something. Lots of images today because there are quite a number of books.
I get quite a number of emails asking me how to buy these books. If you look below each image, I will usually include the title, author/publisher, ISBN number and a link to view more details of the book. Some books have a “look inside” feature on amazon.co.jp, whereas some books released by bunka or nihon-vogue have online preview pages. I also include affiliate links wherever possible so that you can purchase it directly from cdjapan. There is no difference to the price you pay for the book but I will get a small commission from every sale and that goes to help upkeep the website. Without further ado, let’s shop!

I am particularly inclined to buying the book on professional techniques and the other book on fasteners. I feel that there is still so much I can learn to make my garments look more “finished”. How about you? What do you feel like buying after seeing all these books?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a book on fasteners before – interesting!
