A Basic Guide To Pattern Drafting Paperback – 29 April 2019

Great book for those intimidated to create garments from patterns. There are examples of what not to do also. As for a basic guide this is a good one. It’s a 60page book not an all-you-need-to-know guide which I think some of these reviewers thought this book would be. Also, the pics are big enough and detailed enough to begin one’s own basic fashion illustrating.

I should have known by the price…not at all what I expected. SUPER basic with no formulas for creating slopers. It is most definitely a good assist for folks taking a pattern making course though, especially if they aren’t particularly grasping the concept. I teach fashion design classes and will most certainly recommend this to students as an assist, but definitely not good if you are trying to learn how to draft patterns from scratch. I do love how it’s illustrated though.

I studied fashion years ago, this book is a great refresher! Worth every penny!

I thought i t was too basic

It does giver drafting directions it does have many excellent illustrations of altered basic.
