The Dressmaking Book: Over 80 Techniques

After reading everything about this book for like a 100 times, i thought that the book offers basic fabric cutting techniques… but it just keeps talking about various types of fabrics and needles and threads. I have given it 3 stars for the overall quality of the book and its pages. There is no proper draft making and and cutting technique explained. Hence, I returned it. Can somebody pls suggest me a book wherein I will get step by step details of drawing a draft as per measurements first and then cutting

Acquistato usato in ottime condizioni, confermo lo stato e la corretta indicazione da parte del venditore. All’inizio ci sono tre sezioni generali che spiegano le nozioni di base relative a strumenti, tessuti e spiegazioni tecniche sui cartamodelli, per poi proseguire con un’ampia sezione relativa alle tecniche di cucito, alla costruzione di tutti i principali indumenti, con fotografie numerosissime e molto dettagliate. È interamente in inglese, ma le foto aiutano la comprensione.

Fantastic book to support a passion for dressmaking - no matter whether you are a beginnger or experienced.

I bought this book and read every single instruction before trying the first skirt pattern. Then I realized some of the instructions were contradicting themselves and I got pretty confused. Also the skirt pattern was not accurate, and had trouble piecing it together. I’m teaching myself how to sew my own garments as a hobby and because I have no teacher I was hoping to be able to rely completely on this book, so I was a little disappointed.

I'm really impressed with the book! Excellent for beginners (which is my case). Can recommend. There aren't that many patterns, but there are a lot of different techniques described which can be used to alter basic patterns into more personalised designs.
