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.

11/18/2000: 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.
