I’m delighted that Lindsay has reprinted this, as it is my type of book - lots of pictures and not many words. Seriously, this is a very good patternmaking book; it really does give you lessons in the art via practical examples, some of which may be useful in their own right. Early patternmaking books are great as they show how to make patterns not often seen today - IE for the items you and I want. This book also adds a more modern perspective to earlier books. Want a good first book on patternmaking? This is it! 188 page large format paperback groaning with illustrations and drawings.
