The first major new edition of this bestselling textbook since 1985. Although it remains true to its original concept, introducing the basic principles of pattern cutting, the new edition extends the range and use of blocks. These additions are concentrated in new sections - close fitting body shapes and easy fitting body shapes. The sections on computer grading and computer-aided design and pattern development have been updated to take account of the many changes in practice that have occurred in recent years.

Book Description

Metric Pattern Cutting was first published in 1975 to provide a straightforward introductory book for students beginning courses in flat pattern cutting.The fourth edition continues to offer an introduction to the basic principles of pattern cutting, with a range of good basic blocks and examples of their application to garments. However, the great expansion of casual wear, cut in jersey or stretch fabrics, has led to the growth of 'flat cutting' with no darting to create the shape and this edition devotes a whole section to this type of cutting. The sections on computer-aided design and grading have been updated. The size charts of body measurements have been revised, reflecting the changing shape of women's bodies..
