Very Easy to Use with a perfect fit every time!
The price is well worth it for all the hundreds of custom patterns. The best part is that the book guides you while also letting you modify the designs to your own liking, making every garment one of a kind.

Dull
This book contains good information, but the editing is not perfect. It's one of the most boring fashion design books you'll find. Covers the basics but not much more.

Very Helpful Guide, Heavily Recommend
I use this book all the time when making patterns Iโve never made before!! I also find it very helpful for making patterns of any size because of the detailed guide on creating your own size slopers!

Super helpful!
This book is perfect for beginners or intermediate level pattern makers. It has a ton of different patterns with detailed instructions on how to make them and really helpful illustrations. I usually never buy the recommended textbooks and if I do I feel like I didnโt use them enough to justify the price, but I use this almost every day and it is definitely worth it.

Book is well organized in information
I am learning pattern making and I find this book is quite detailed and breaks the information down into manageable bites.
