Hoshino Shobo is set to release 'The Sewing Textbook: How to Sew Like Ready-to-Wear Without Using Pins' by Kaori Sone (head of the 'RANPI' sewing school) on May 25, 2026. A pre-launch reprint has already been confirmed due to high demand from those looking to enhance their sewing skills.

The author, who studied as a pattern maker at Bunka Fashion College and has worked on sewing for the Tokyo and Paris Collections, has distilled her expertise into this full-color volume. Based on her experience teaching over 10,000 students over 15 years, the book provides a systematic answer for home sewers to the question: 'Why does ready-to-wear look so professional?'

### Social Context: The Expanding Handmade Market and the 'Finish Barrier' Japan's handmade market is growing rapidly, with Creema data estimating a potential market size of approximately 303 billion yen. Despite this, many enthusiasts struggle to move beyond a 'loungewear' quality finish even after years of practice. The reason isn't a lack of skill but a difference in fundamental 'theory' between home and industrial sewing. Mass-production factories achieve beautiful seams without using a single pin, not through mysterious skill, but through the logic of 'preparation, order, and structure.'

### Key Features of the Book - **First-ever systemization of industrial sewing theories for the home by a Paris Collection veteran.** - **Methods to achieve professional results without using pins or basting threads.** - **A fundamental approach focusing on 'Preparation, Order, and Structure' rather than just the moment of sewing.** - **Practical content based on 15 years of instruction and over 10,000 students.**

The author believes that a beautiful finish is determined by preparation before sewing begins. Written with the hope that sewing will enrich people's lives, this book is designed for all enthusiasts, from absolute beginners to veterans with 30 years of experience.
