A Perfect Fit: Create Personalized Patterns For A Limitless Wardrobe
By Lynne Garner, Knitting & Stitchcraft Book

Using quick, easy-to-understand techniques this book brings the traditional couturier's method of creating bespoke garment patterns into the world of the home sewer. Unless you are one of the standard sizes dictated by garment pattern manufacturers (and very, very few women are), you will need to adapt a shop-bought pattern to make it fit you. Draping calico on your body following Lynne Garner's detailed step-by-step instructions results in a pattern block that is shaped to your body and works well in fabric. Learn how to then adapt your basic bodice, sleeve and skirt blocks to create a literally limitless number of gorgeous tops, trousers, skirts and dresses, all of which fit you to perfection. All you need to start your own Perfect Fit wardrobe is some calico, pins and a sewing
buddy to help you out (you can return the favour so you both have bespoke pattern blocks). The size of this book is 23.6cm in height and 22.8cm wide with 128 pages.
