## Description

Comprehensive patternmaking guide with updated illustrations, content on children's and swimwear. Ideal for fashion design students and professionals.

Review: Very comprehensive, impressive book - OMG where has this book been all my sewing life. I am an enthusiastic home sewer and this book will be a very well used companion. It is full of easy to read advice giving really good solutions for design.
Review: The most useful book - If you want to learn or improve on your pattern cutting, this is the book you NEED. Generally The metric pattern cutting book by Winifred Aldrich is used in Europe and this book (imperial measurements) is used in the US. This book however has so much info. This Armstrong book has detailed info from the necessary tools to detailed drawings of what you need to do to get from a block to a dress, or coat, or sportswear or menswear plus details like sleeves and plackets. Pages and pages of detailed drawings and explanations. It takes you through the three main principles: Dart manipulation, adding fullness and contouring, then the sky is your limit. This is the book I’ve been searching for. I think it will get a lot of use. Yes it is in imperial measurements but there is a section at the start to help with that OR you could draft a metric block from Aldrich and then use this book to help with design. Just get it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Detailed
*by A***N on 5 September 2024*

Only got this today but can see this is going to be very useful. I’m not a professional and have never found clothes or patterns that fit my shape properly. While I have learnt by trial and error how to make certain changes I wanted detailed information on how to do more and this book certainly delivers. I suspect after digesting this book the pattern companies will be upset as I’m unlikely to buy from them anymore as I’ll be able to make my own, that fit and are the style I want, rather than having to make do with a near enough pattern. Only minor niggle with the book is that it sometimes refers to things by colour, eg the blue line, but it’s all printed in black. I’ve worked out easily enough what is being referred to but they should either print with colour or change the text on the next reprint. Overall though, if you want to make your own patterns or modify what you have this book will definitely be of help. Almost forgot, it includes directions for men’s and children’s pattern making too which is useful.
