Book description
One of the most challenging aspects of a designer's training is
learning how to create patterns that utilise the characteristics of
fabrics. With an ever expanding range available, an understanding of
the relationship between fabric, form and pattern shape is now the
most important skill a designer has to acquire.
Fabrics and Pattern Cutting explores how a garment's shape is created
and discusses the factors that need to be considered when creating
patterns and offers you a practical method for solving problems. Its
approach to design and flat pattern cutting is based on the appraisal
of the fabric and body shape.
Fabrics and Pattern Cutting is fully illustrated and makes use of
numerous practical examples.
