Practical Pattern Making: A Step-by-step Guide

Very, very godd and helpful book. I make a lot of pattern from there ,is amazing. Thanks to the authors 👏 👏 👏

This book is a practical explanation of how to create your own patterns to a specific body measurement, many diagrams of the shapes to be cut out are given and the sewer has to adjust these against the size they require. For someone with sewing experience I think that this book will inspire you to create your own original designs, but for me as an inexperienced sewer, there is too little guidance at times in the instructions.

So I read reviews that this was great. I absolutely hate it! I wish I hadn't bought it because honestly it's just awful. The styles inside are very off the charts couture and obscure that no on would ever want to actually make any of these. They show you how to make a pencil skirt sloper which I have read way easier tutorials that the one that is included in this book. As well, they show a sloper for a bodice but the book contains no sloper bodice. I'd have returned this book if it had been easier to do so. Don't buy this book many others are much better than this.

Good intro material. Easy to follow.

This book is really good for pattern design and making. Read the introduction on how to use them otherwise you might be a little lost. Get a good sketchbook and some really good pencils.

A book with amazing ways to alter basic patterns - worth studying.

Clear concise instructions. Easy to follow. Practical patterns for sure.
