Pattern Cutting

This practical guide explains how to take accurate measurements, introduces key tools, and takes the reader from simple pattern-cutting ideas to more advanced creative methods. Step-by-step illustrations show how to create and then fit basic bodice, sleeve, skirt, dress, and trouser blocks, and how to adapt these to create patterns for original designs. New material includes advice on fitting muslins and working with stretch fabrics. There is also a fully updated chapter dedicated to digital technology.
