Synopsis

A reference book for anyone wishing to make their own patterns, suitable for both novice and expert sewers. It offers guidance through the process of taking body measurements and drawing up the basic patterns for skirts, shirts, trousers, jackets, dresses, collars, sleeves and necklines. Also included are quarter scale patterns for those readers who have standard size 12 figures, with instructions on how to scale these patterns up or down. For more serious sewers, a chapter is devoted to setting up the ideal workroom, with information on equipment, cutting tables, tailors' dummies and other matters.
