Updated jacket foundation draft includes fabric preparation, interfacing, chest piece, tape control, and shoulder pads.

Patternmaking Book Review - 




The book came in great condition, just as I expected. I used this book during one of my courses but as a poor student could not afford the hefty price of $90+
At an affordable 83.00 I managed to snag a brand new copy when I can actually afford it. Thanks Amazon.

Patternmaking book review - 




Very prompt shipping and in great condition! Great transaction, would definitely buy from in the future!
Comprehensive but a bit too complex - 




I have no training in apparel making other than my Home Economics class in high school and so this book is a bit too advance for me. It appears quite comprehensive so for an advanced person I imagine it could be useful. For me, it takes a little time to understand and feels overwhelming with information. Some basic knowledge provided is educational.
Great help for the fashion designer - 




Hi! I am very surprised of the content of this book. It is really amazing how complete is the information. It is a bible for the fashion designer. Great book!

Helpful to those who love visuals - 




I have this edition and the previous simply because I do not get rid of anything. The reason I prefer this one to the prior is because there are colored lines to help show you step by step photos which the previous editions do not. I keep the previous edition because the styles are a little more common. Even though this one is basically the same book, the only true difference is that the images are more up to date to today's fashion and there are a few added patterns that are not in the previous.
All in all, I prefer the newer because I like the visual step-by-step colored lines and the dialogue is so simple to follow. I've been using these books for years and I don't know what I would do without them.
