Synopsis

Renowned for its comprehensive coverage, exceptional illustrations, and clear instructions, this hallmark book offers detailed yet easy-to-understand explanations of the essence of patternmaking. Hinging on a recurring theme that all designs are based on one or more of the three major patternmaking and design principles–dart manipulation, added fullness, and contouring–it provides all the relevant information necessary to create design patterns with accuracy regardless of their complexity.

Sewing guides included for the pleated trouser (with pattern layout), belt/loops, pockets, and zipper; the jean pant with pockets, countour belt, and fly front; and the gusset. Updated jacket foundation draft includes fabric preparation, interfacing, chest piece, tape control, and shoulder pads. Pant drafts–Trouser draft including pocket, waistband, and loop; dungaree foundation draft; grunge pant draft; and three jean waistline variations including pocket and sewing instruction. Includes fitting corrections for the basic patterns. Unique section on patternmaking for bias-cut garments.

For anyone developing their patternmaking skills.

Customer Rating for this product is 5 out of 5 The Best Book Ever!!!!
A reviewer, a 13 year old fashion designer, 11/21/2000

I love this book. It is ecxellent for anyone who wants what they sew to be their own design, are sick of altering patterns or who are sick of buying patterns. I want to be the next Vera Wang, so I've started designing lots of wedding gowns. I needed a way to make the gowns because I cannot alter some patterns to get the look I want. This book is everything I needed and more! I definetly recomend this book to anyone of any age. I use it so much and is my favorite book out of all my other sewing books.
