Great review ... very informative! You were very lucky to get the Hillary Campbell book for £5... I’ve just checked EBay cheapest I could find was £90! ...I’ll keep checking though xxx
This video was really good and informative, I’m starting the womenswear fashion design course at LCF this September so I need to buy some pattern cutting books and this video was very helpful!
wowww this was a really good book review. thank you soooo much for the flip through previews. i've reserved some of the books from my public library!!! thank goodness they have the first book because they only have 1 copy available throughout the whole nation's public library (we're a small country so we can reserve it at a small fee and we can arrange for book collection at our nearest neighbourhood library ahha) and i almost thought the price of the book was fake and a joke. :O thank you again. :)
The first book you show and the link to it.......oh my goodness the price. Really expensive. So you were lucky....really lucky to get it for that price😔
Thank you for the great info. I’m just an amateur but thought I’d look up some of the books on amazon in USA. 🙀the Hilary Campbell book was listed for over $1,000! Just thought you would like to know how valuable your book is😁. Just for fun😁
Thank you for sharing this review of these pattern books. I would also love to publish my own sewing patterns. I have also studied various garment construction methods and the more i learn the more I get also confused on what pattern construction ways I shall best use, or what measurements, is there right or wrong way? I would love to know about your sewing pattern development journey. What garment construction methods you like to use and how do you make them in pdf? Thank you! :)
Hello, this is my first time here. Thanks for these great reviews. Im wondering, is there any book out there with already made real size pattern for men? Basics ones I could use as a base. Thanks a lot =)
?Does the "Designing Patterns: a fresh approach to pattern cutting" book talk about ease? ?When you studied fashion did you have to make any garments from you a drawn block? Before I saw your video I purchased "How to Use, Adapt, and Design Sewing Patterns" by Lee Hollahan. Do you have an opinion about this book? I like the spiral binding on the "Pattern Making with Stretch Knit Fabrics". I think this is always a plus.
Hi! Yes, it talks about ease, although not explaining much. I learned how to create my own blocks and from there how to adapt them to create a new design. I don't know that book, is it good?
@@sonne1305 Sorry Sonja. When I bought it years ago, I was lucky enough to find it on Ebay, used for of course much less money. It seems that now it is impossible to find.
I love your video! Could you please help me? What is the book that you use for your basic patterns? I don't know what method is the best. I have the book pattern by Dennic, pattern cutting by Winifred and also Patternmakingby Helen, but I don't what method I have to use for making my basic bodice patterns
@@monicarodriguez462 Are you looking to draft a block for plus sizes? I usually draft a block for UK size 10. I am working with a pattern drafting company to create a different block for plus sizes. Maybe you can check Cashmerette patterns as they maybe have more information about plus size blocks.
cutting pattern for childrens wear has errors and new editions do not correct the errors also no errata was issued so sorry be aware ....These books are expensive and the author should care to at least publish online errata.
CocoWawa Crafts Winifred Aldrich does menswear, metric pattern cutting for men as does the portfolio for men’s wear, although it’s not my area of expertise, both books for women are awesome Dennis Chuman.
