The authors show that you don't have to be a pattern maker to create one-of-a-kind designs. They show how to start with a basic pattern and add designer details, such as lacy overlays, custom collars, novelty necklines, and more. The book explains the design process, and inspiring fashion illustrations and short exercises spark individual creativity. Express your personality through clothing you have "made your own".

This novel book for home sewers offers advice and direction on how they can alter existing patterns to create their own unique designs. The step-by-step directions are easy to follow and give help in creating a variety of collars, necklines, sleeves, overlaps, closures, and back detail. The ideas are interesting; the techniques are great. While not a guide for beginners, this title from the author of The ABC's of Serging (Chilton, 1992) is recommended for any library with a sewing collection.
