Patternless Fashions: How to Design and Make Your Own Fashions!: With New Appendices on Sewing for the Beginner!
By Diehl Lewis
A good way to learn pattern drafting
This is a good book to begin learning pattern drafting. It focuses on female attire and was originally written in the 1950s. The designs reflect this. However, if you combine this basic knowledge with a book like Make it Your Own, by Lori Bottom and Rhonda Chaney, you will find that you can create endless original patterns -- as I have done from these books.
Great gift. Just what she wanted!
Arrived earlier than planned and in great condition. Price and shipping were reasonable and service was excellent.
