Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Pattern cutting, or pattern making, is an essential yet complex skill for every fashion designer to master. Pattern Cutting: The Architecture of Fashion demystifies the pattern cutting process and clearly demonstrates pattern fundamentals, enabling you to construct in both 2D and 3D, and quickly get to grips with basic blocks, shape, sleeves, collars, trousers, pockets and finishes.
Pat Parish approaches the subject of pattern cutting through proportion, balance, line and form, identifying key shapes and structures from the catwalk and translating them into 3D through cutting, draping and construction processes. This popular and inspirational sourcebook has been updated to reflect new directions in construction design and techniques, and to include more advanced patterns, such as the Magyar sleeve and the jumpsuit.
With handy tips, shortcuts and tricks of the trade, the second edition of Pattern Cutting is a must-have studio resource for all budding fashion designers. It will provide you with the inspiration, tools and confidence to interpret and adapt basic patterns, and take your designs to the next level.

CHOICE Review
Parish (freelance pattern cutter; lecturer, Northbrook College, UK) has created an amazing book for readers interested in how fashion is created and the influences of pattern makers on fashion. This hands-on guide enables readers to work through fashion designs, both simple and complex, from the perspective of the pattern maker. In seven chapters Parish covers all aspects of the patterning process along with specific areas of the garment, including patterning fundamentals; shapes in patterning; sleeves, collars, and circles; and trousers. In this second edition (the first edition was published in 2013), Parish has added step-by-step instructions for more complex patterns and a chapter covering pockets, openings, and finishes. A final chapter educates readers on sustainability issues and solutions to patterning problems. On page 6, the author provides a useful explanation of how to use the book. Many readers will particularly appreciate the yellow "troubleshooting" boxes throughout. This book will be a great asset to beginners in learning proper patterning techniques. Summing Up: Recommended. All readers. --Kathryn Wagner, Western Michigan UniversityThere are no comments on this title.
