I’m considering buying the metric pattern cutting for women’s wear. I’m still at basic level!

Also I have the Joseph Armstrong all editions since I started to study fashion in 1989 the five editions

I have the same book, it is very good.

I love the Joseph-Armstrong book - for me it is also a ‘bible’! Other faves of mine for inspiration and to challenge the brain are the Pattern Magic books… just fabulous!

Pattern making books they teach all the basic techniques in how to cut different styles and designs of sleeves, bodies, necks, collars, pants, skirts, jackets, swimming suits, lingerie, etc. one you learn all the techniques and notions you can combine them and make your own designs.

Have you got any pattern making books that you can't live without? Let me know in the comments so others can learn more too!

The book 'Pattern making for fashion design' is a great book and resource. However, mine fell a part very quickly and the book is exspensive. It is a very bad quality made book. I would recommend buying the ring bound version as the book binding and paper quality is very poor quality especially for the price for the soft bound version.

Thank you so much for this video - it was very helpful in deciding which book to buy. I have one question: What book do you have for pattern grading? Thank you in advance!
