Product Description
Product Description
For sewers who want to use their basic skills to re-create and update their favourite skirts, blouses and handbags in new fabrics and/or to incorporate new details. In Patternmaking for a Perfect Fit, costume designer, patternmaker and teacher Steffani Lincecum reveals the secrets of the rub-off, a technique used by fashion and costume industry professionals, but is little known outside these industries, to create patterns from existing garments.

A really useful book for any seamstress who has been approached/want to make a reproduction of or make an updated version of a much loved garment and in a way that leaves you with a grade-able pattern to re-use!
Brilliant for me, I love vintage dresses but I'm a gangly five foot ten. The language is accessible, the tone light and friendly with out being to "dumbed down" while still being accessible to a newbie.
The examples given are pretty ugly, but that's more a question of individual taste than anything.

I have bought books on pattern before but this book by Steffani is the best! I bought it just two days ago, read it and amazed that it is so easy to understand and create your own pattern. What I also like about this book is that shows you that making patterns is so easy, there are step-by-step sketches and the best bit i think is the rub-off pattern making technic. This is were you take your favourite outfit and copy it on a pattern paper of newspaper make another one. Its a great book for all sewers. I am glad I bought it!

THE best book I have ever bought! Clear and concise instructions. I was given a fitted silk dupion top from a customer and she wanted me to make a new one from it but bigger and the "rub-off" technique worked, it was a joy to do. I will be "rubbing-off" many more items in the future now I know how easy it is. Thank you for making this book!

Good Buy!
It will take sometime for me to master some techniques in the book. But overall is a good buy! Even if you are a beginner, you can always purchase it for future use...

Never buy another paper pattern!
This book is awesome, from just one reading I tackled drafting a pair of trousers (not a garment covered in the book), using the techniques in the book and a favourite but now too... Read more
