Summary: How to Make Sewing Patterns
Comment: This is a great all around "how to book". Very easy to follow instructions, even if you're not necessarily making your own pattern, but adjusting a purchased one.

Summary: Poorly written and bad illustrations
Comment: Very amateurish written book. The illustrations are hand drawn. No reference on how to use pattern drafting tools.

Summary: generally pleased
Comment: "I am just learning how to make and sew my own patterns. I feel this book does a really great job at explaining and demonstrating through text and illustrations what is to be done. The only thing that I would like to see in this book would be how the actual construction of the patterns into garments is done. For example where do you start to sew on the pattern, what kind of stitch to use where, etc. Other than that the book will be an excellent reference for measuring, and pattern making.

Summary: Excellent a must
Comment: I love this book. I haven't actually made a pattern out of it yet, but just reading it gave me such an insight into pattern making and modifying. I'm waiting to have a bit of time and the right paper to start. You can even make a double of yourself with the measurements you take, an inexpensive way of trying garments instead of the expensive options. I recommend this book to anyone that sews and wants to go beyond the tracing, cutting patterns and following instructions to sew. MN, Ireland.
