Product Description
Product Description
This text offers a complete picture of the process of individual garment construction following the exact techniques used in the industry. The unique feature of this book is its presentation of each garment as a whole concept. With numerous diagrams and easy-to-follow instructions, students master the principles of design and flat pattern to create an individual item of apparel. Each chapter begins with the introduction of a basic sloper and follows with an explanation of the whole production process-making a garment from pattern drafting to garment construction, including lining, interfacing and markers. The balance of each chapter covers techniques for altering separate pattern pieces.

Not what I expected,
By Jill (Vermont USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apparel Making in Fashion Design (Paperback)
I went back and forth on this one. Bought it to learn how to make a Flat Pattern. Half of this book is on construction of each basic pattern (blouse, skirt, pants etc) with minimal variations. Lots of large drawings, very little text. Not for the person who already knows construction techniques. If I were a beginner in sewing I would need more information on construction than this gives. But good instruction on Flat Pattern making if you want to not use half of the book....

Awesome-few typos,
By fashion student - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Apparel Making in Fashion Design (Paperback)
The book is really a great tool to begin learning how to pattern make. The diagrams are very visual and easy to understand once you get going. The sloper method is best for beginners in my opinion. I had Injoo as a teacher for the first of 3 classes that follow this book at University of Cincinnati.I believe she's working on the 2nd edition. When that comes out don't hesitate to buy it. 3 of 5 people found the following review helpful

Great book!,
By seachelle - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Apparel Making in Fashion Design (Paperback)
This is the book i learned patternmaking from... its a wonderful guide and teaches you how to really learn the basics of flat patternmaking but gives you the information to take your pattern skills much further! I have looked at other books for flat pattern making and this one is the best, and has detailed illustrations that are helpful as well.
