Dearest bookhos,
Welcome to a short and sweet review of Patterning for Fashion Design by Helen Joseph Armstrong. This seems to be the standard textbook for flat patterning fashion school classes, and I've used it so much. In this video I have tips on where to start, and how useful this is for certain needs.
Enjoy,
Bianca

That sounds like a book I should watch out for. It’s in my mental list! Another good place to check out is The Sewing Connection with Shirley Adams. The show is being put on KZfaq and is full of interesting ways to modify patterns and fit yourself alone. The show was done in the 90’s so the fashion reflects that but her ideas and teaching is timeless. It’s how I learnt a lot of things when I was starting. A few weekends classes, sewing shows and books where all that was around back then.

the techniques are definitely timeless. i'm gonna have to check out that show.

I recently got this book. It's really good. I also have a Craftsy account and several classes taught by Suzy Furrer, a designer and founder of Apparel Arts Productions in Oakland, CA. Her classes on Craftsy cover the Basic Slopers for bodices, skirts, and pants. They also cover dart manipulation, different necklines, collars, and sleeves. And there are a couple on designing coats and jackets, and tops. So between the two I hope to make my own slopers and blocks.

good luck! the sloper is the hardest part just because it must be precise, but after that you're golden

Hi there! Im tempted to buy it but afraid it wont cover what i need in particular, like does it also shows patterns for denim shorts and how to make them baggy (like jorts) or something like that? Im focused on avant-garde/streetwear garments. Thank you in advance :)

Hey there! It won’t show you your specific design idea but it will show you how to expand patterns and alter them to get what you want.

Hi, thanks for the great book review, really helpful! I'm want to buy it, but on Amazon the paperback is much much cheaper than the hard cover (33 vs 117 euros). Do you know the difference? Can't find it anywhere 🤷. Hope you can help me out, thanks!

@bookhoarding Жыл бұрын

I don’t know the complete differences but my teacher said the biggest thing was page numbers being a little off. In our class chat we’d all share the page numbers across our various editions that matched the unit so everyone would know the right activities.

I have the paperback version shown here (5th ed. - says for India only) and the 4th ed. hardback which I just found at a Goodwill. The main difference seems to be the better quality of the paper pages and some colour in the hardback, as well as slight differences of order of information (as previously shared). Also, as shared in the video, there are no half and quarter side blocks to copy in the back of the paperback. So, if you don't care about the quality of the paper or colour lines, it seems like the cheaper version gives the same information, surprisingly.

@bodyandsoul17 11 ай бұрын

Also, there is not a dvd with the paperback, nor a 2 page Preface, and the intitial Table of Contents is less detailed (but the beginning of each chapter gives that detail). Just sharing because I'd been wondering the differences myself!

@bodyandsoul17 11 ай бұрын

One item I just noticed between the 4th and 5th editions, is that my hardback 4th ed. does not have the Chapter 23 menswear sections (about 50 pages), but the paperback 5th ed. does have it.

@@bodyandsoul17 thank you so much for sharing!!

@meghnasharma5344 11 ай бұрын

As a complete beginner in this field of fashion, is this book worth buying? Is it comprehensive for a person with zero experience in designing, cutting and sewing?

@bookhoarding 11 ай бұрын

It's an industry standard guide for flat patterning, but it won't touch on actual design, cutting or sewing.

@kgomotsomokoana5278 7 ай бұрын

So will it at least teach you the Patternmaking of simple garment eg trousers, button down shirt etc
