Metric Pattern Cutting for Women's Wear, 6th Edition

Product Information

However, the great expansion of casual wear, cut in jersey or stretch fabrics, has led to the growth of 'flat cutting' with no darting to create the shape and this edition devotes a whole section to this type of cutting. Loads of exciting things to make from lingerie to exercise and outdoor wear to smart tailored coats. Metric Pattern Cutting for Women's Wear provides a straightforward introduction to the principles of form pattern cutting for garments to fit the body shape, and flat pattern cutting for casual garments and jersey wear. The reason that Metric Pattern Cutting is so great is that it covers BOTH of these key skills and waaay more! I'm all for creating and designing your own sewing patterns so that you can get more from your sewing projects and this is why I am trying to make pattern cutting as accessible as possible to everyone.

It isn't so suitable if you don't have any experience as it *is* a technical book and it does look daunting on first opening because of all the detail inside. They snip a 'U' shape in the paper meaning it doesn't rip as easily as notching by hand creating 'V' shapes. The book then progresses through any type of outfit you could imagine right through to the final details you may want to use in your designs. Usually, a toile is made from calico or scrap fabric with a similar drape to it (always use a stretch fabric for a stretch pattern, not calico). To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.However, the instructions are structured in a way that can be confusing if you’re new to pattern cutting. Pattern Cutting Ruler - I use the Pattern Master ruler because I find the size covers most outfits I make. I think the fact that almost every pattern cutter that I know has a copy of this book speaks for itself!

Depending on what you want to get out of this book that could be great but it could also be a little confusing for those who are wanting to learn to pattern cut as a hobby.Ich muss auch dazu sagen, dass ich echt viele viele Schnittbücher gekauft und wieder verkauft habe und es nur wenige gibt bei denen ich sagen kann "die sind sooooo gut die behalte ich" . New for this edition is the inclusion of colour to help students recognize the different sections of the book and to enhance the garment illustrations? My other criticism here is that the bodice block is drafted without any waist shaping, this is added as an option at the end of the section and isn’t done in the clearest of ways.
