Pattern Cutting (Portfolio Skills) Kindle Edition

This book has the clearest explanation on drafting patterns I have read. It is cleanly written and very concise, which makes getting through the material very easy. There are explanations on why things are done as they are, and there are examples of many ways of dealing with darts or design features. If you need to make a sloper, and if you sew, you probably would benefit from this custom fit, this is the book you should learn to draft from. If you want to design, this is the book you should learn from. This book is great if you want to acquire some good, solid technical skills.

I am an intermediate designer and i love this book. I wanna say it is beginners friendly thought if you're new to some of the terminology it might be a little hard at times to follow but overall is a great resource to have

Although this book is mainly aimed at students entering the fashion industry, there are many useful things for the home sewer and for those who produce their own patterns.The information and diagrams are clear and I liked the reasoning behind why things are done, eg the height of the sleeve cap related to human anatomy and the garment. I have read, and own, other pattern drafting books and still learned lots of things I'd never come across before.I would recommend this book as a useful addition to your library.

This book is great for understanding the basic concepts of patternmaking. While most patternmaking books just tell you how to draft patterns, this book shows you why patterns are drafted that way and how the pattern shapes relates to the body.For people who are really interested in pattermaking, I would recommend getting this book first to understand the concepts of patternmaking (it mainly shows you how to draft basic patterns) and use other patternmaking books to learn techniques on drafting more complicated styles.

I love the book!!! I was sold on the explanation of gravity and its impact on dress making as well as the very caring way in which Dennis explains concepts. You can’t miss understanding fit and the human body in relation to garments with this book.

Amazing book! interesting and informative. gets into technicality and maths needed to make a pattern. it's so interesting and easy to follow. it's a must have for pattern makers and anyone who wants to make their own patterns.

This is a real good book. It explains and breaks down pretty much everything you need to know about pattern making or drafting. The only thing is that he had a few errors in his writing and calculations but it is nothing that will effect you from understanding what he is trying to say.

My book came in like new condition, only few defects on the front side. Book clear and nothing to worry, thanks
