  This reference should be suitable for anyone wishing to make their own patterns. The author takes readers step-by-step through the process of taking body measurements and drawing up the basic patterns for skirts, trousers, jackets, dresses, collars, sleeves and necklines. It also includes quarter scale patterns for a basic dress, blouse, jacket, trousers and skirt for a standard size 12 figure. Additional instructions are included on how to scale these patterns up or down. A final chapter is devoted to setting up the ideal workroom, with information on equipment, cutting tables and tailors' dummies.
