A guide to getting the most from sewing patterns, from choosing the
right size to translating flat shapes into wearable garments. It shows
you how to change the shaping, length and detailing to suit your own
body shape, taste and style, and once you've mastered that it shows you
how to make a new pattern out of a shop-bought pattern and even how to draft
your own patterns from scratch. This book is suitable for the amateur as
well as the more experienced dressmaker.
