Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Excellent - highly recommended - I bought this because I enjoyed Assembils "How to start sewing". It describes everything so well, at a really steady pace, and with well annotated diagrams. This book complements what I have learned myself from commercial patterns & YouTube - rather than just "monkey see monkey do", Its given me the confidence to understand how a pattern should be drafted and how it would hold together. Review: Definately one for your library - Logical, clear explanations that build knowledge as the chapters develop. Designed to offer an understanding of three main methods of adapting patterns or pattern blocks to achieve various outcomes. 1) Cut & Spread Technique 2) Pivot & Trace Technique 3) Drape techniques Teaches you the ‘why’ as well as the ‘how’ to help you decide the best methods for you and your projects. It left me feeling confident now to choose the right way for me to adapt the patterns that haven’t fitted as well as they could and to continue learning how to refine my own pattern making skills. It’s also clarified quite a few techniques I’d struggled to grasp from other books on Pattern making. It’s an easy read and a good reference guide. Like a fool I bought it and left it sitting on a book shelf for almost a year - I’ve just read it through in a couple of days and it’s a really logical well thought out book that I’ll refer back to time and time again. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D9F5V2F6 | | Best Sellers Rank | 20,067 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 752 in Hobbies & Crafts | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (416) | | Dimensions | 21.59 x 2.01 x 27.94 cm | | ISBN-13 | 979-8332506499 | | Item weight | 998 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 350 pages | | Publication date | 13 July 2024 | | Publisher | Independently published | ## Images ![How Patterns Work: The Fundamental Principles of Pattern Making and Sewing in Fashion Design - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518yhKW06XL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent - highly recommended *by F***G on 28 March 2024* I bought this because I enjoyed Assembils "How to start sewing".

I have had a quick overview and read various parts and am now starting at the beginning. Although I am a fairly experienced dressmaker and tailor I am forcing myself to begin here rather than cherry pick the parts I am more interested in because that is format the editors wish you to follow to get the most out of the material. It promises that this method will give the sewer a new and fuller understanding of the whole subject of pattern making. When and if I follow this through I should be much better informed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/642328004-how-patterns-work-the-fundamental-principles-of-pattern-making-sewing](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/642328004-how-patterns-work-the-fundamental-principles-of-pattern-making-sewing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
