I just found a resource for the Pattern Magic Volume 1 book --- in English! It looks like the Center for Pattern Design is offering pre-ordering of these books, which are due out by October 1. Both Volumes 1 and 2 are truly inspirational, and in English, they will be more accessible
for a broader audience. It looks like only Volume 1 is being offered at this point, but I would imagine a translation of Volume 2 is in the works. The Center for Pattern Design also has a number of classes (if you are close to the California wine country in Napa/Sonoma) as well as tools/books for sale on their website. Check it out!

Thank you for posting the information. I owned both books.
I'll look out for this. I have the draping book, but find it daunting.
I saw this and my heart skipped a beat. I might wait till they both come out, but then it might be too tempting! Glad they finally came out with the English version. I have enough trouble with instructions when they're in English!
My preordered copy arrived today from Amazon.com. Even though I already have a Japanese copy, the english copy is well worth the purchase price. It was great to read the text and pick up information about the author's process and the names of the items. The Drop Hole and Lumps and Bumps are such great names.
