Book Reviews of How to Make Sewing Patterns
Book Review: How to Make Sewing Patterns by Donald H. McCunn
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a wonderful text book that demystifies how sewing patterns are drafted to a particular set of measurements. It is based on moving the dart. It is plainly written without overwhelming direction - short and to the point. It is set up for each technique to build on the next in a very organized manner.
I can see this book will open a new sense of creativity for the home-sewer wanting to dabble in fashion design.
The only negative comment I can make is that I wish it had more illustrations.
