--------------------------------------

Making your own clothes allows you to get the perfect fi t, and once you have perfected the fi t, you can begin to add details of your own design. This book guides you through the process of using and adapting commercial sewing patterns to suit your body, and then moves on to explain how to create your own patterns using the pattern blocks provided in chapter 5.

When making or designing your own clothes, sewing patterns are a useful starting point, but often need to be altered to achieve a good fit. Lee Hollahan, a fashion and textiles expert, explains how to use and adapt patterns, from choosing the right size and understanding the markings to translating flat shapes and pattern blocks into wearable garments.
