About this title

From the Author

Assembil is a fashion innovation company.

We believe that the fashion industry needs a rethink, and that every step in the creation of fashion has the potential to be re-imagined using new techniques and new technology. Future Assembil projects will examine the way that fashion is taught, designed, manufactured, distributed, consumed and appreciated, and offer alternative solutions to traditional models. Unlike other creative industries, fashion has been slow to embrace the nimble nature of digital products and services. We believe that one of the ways that technology can be better utilised in the fashion industry is in the way that people learn about the design and construction of fashion.

We believe in the power of great design, but professional quality design has traditionally been expensive or out of reach for most people. We want to change this. We're passionate about helping people of all abilities to design and make their own high quality fashion by giving them access to the necessary skills and knowledge to create beautifully crafted clothing. For this reason, our first project begins in the world of fashion education, with our first product being a streamlined pattern making book developed specifically for digital devices. We hope that you enjoy reading "How Patterns Work".

Review

"The illustrations are clearly developed, and together with the descriptions in plain language, make links evident between various parts of the flat patternmaking process in a way that is easy to follow. I recommend this text alongside other flat patternmaking texts to enable various modes of learning in our first year flat patternmaking subjects. It is great to also be able to recommend the e-book version, and this has been received well by the students."

- Donna Sgro, Fashion Lecturer
