ABSTRACT

Flat pattern drafting has a long history; it can be challenging but it can also be extremely satisfying, and is one of the most accurate ways of creating a pattern for a garment. This book follows a logical sequence that begins with taking accurate measurements for your intended wearer and drafting the female basic block, and continues through to creating a new historical pattern. It is important that you read each section carefully and follow the pattern drafting process precisely. There is a glossary at the back of the book for you to refer to if there are terms that you do not understand.
