Synopsis

A knowledge of the techniques of pattern making is a real advantage to the person who does much sewing. There are three methods of pattern making, namely: Flat-Pattern, Draping, and Drafting. This book describes the Flat-Pattern Method. Flat-Pattern work starts with a commercial basic pattern that has previously been altered to fit the individual. The pattern work consists of changing this altered pattern to make a pattern for a chosen design. The work is done on paper on a flat surface. Although Flat-Pattern is pattern making - not pattern alteration - a knowledge of flat=pattern techniques will contribute to a better understanding of pattern alteration.
