Solve the mysteries of pattern drafting with this
instructional book. Simple and easy step-by-step instructions with clear
understandable line drawings.
Other books that
allegedly enable you to draft your own patterns all turn out to be either
how to BUY a commercial pattern & then alter it to make other designs, or
else they only enable you to make clothing for the perfectly portioned
body, which few of us have. A third alternative is that some books teach
you to make shapeless "sack" clothing without much style. Almost all of
these books require that you have a partner to help measure yourself and
later to help fit the basic patterns to your body.
THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH MR. McCUNN'S WONDERFUL BOOK! He starts out by
showing you how to measure yourself accurately without any helpers.
Then he takes you step-by-step through how to draft the basic patterns
from your own measurements. He does NOT give tables of measurements for
putting darts in, since the tables don't work for anyone without a
"perfect" body. Instead, he explains how to custom fit the basic skirt,
pants, bodice, & sleeve patterns to your own body, even if you
don't have a "fitting buddy."
