Book Review: Great resource book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book helps you figure out your figure. I learned things I never knew about altering patterns and getting a good fit. I use this book as a resource and enjoy it. The instructions are fairly clear. I would recommend you have some sewing basics before using the book.
Summary of Every Sewer's Guide to the Perfect Fit: Customizing Your Patterns for a Sensational Look
Two expert instructors demonstrate how to adjust commercial patterns to make clothes that actually fit real bodies. They begin with accurate measuring and creating a personalized "master" pattern that is a customized map of a single body. Once completed, the master can be used to alter any commercial pattern for a perfect fit. 90 photos, 30 in color.Fashion Books
