For those who wish to learn pattern making can have a simplified and streamlined introduction to all of the fundamental principles that lie at the core of pattern making.

This is the most amazing book. It explains the fundamental principles of how garment patterns work, how to adapt them, and the symbols and pattern-cutting basics used in the garment industry. The book is clearly laid out, with clear illustrations. It is a little repetitive but this just reinforces the lessons you're learning.

Having read this I feel confident about understanding, creating and modifying patterns and know I will continue to refer back to it often when sewing. ( )
