Patternmaking for Fashion Design Oct 30, 2009
The book is great but I advise you buy the hardcover issues, the papers rip-off really easily in the ring-bound version. On receiving it I had a couple of papers ripped off already!

 I Love this book Oct 29, 2009
I finally found my next step with this book Patternmaking for Fashion Design 5th edition. I wanted a book to go with Don McCunn's How to Make Sewing Patterns. I love the fitting portion on pants, the evaluation section, the different designs, techniques, constructions process, children and underwear section. I am blown away with contentment on the different designs. The instructions and illustrations are simple. This book really compliments Don McCunn's How to Make Sewing Patterns. I like the sample work sheet, it is the best I seen so far (must modify mines to reflect what I see on page 20-21. This will be my designs manual. I cannot say enough about how please I am with this book. Love It!!!! Helen J Armstrong Rocks!!!!

The Best Patternmaking Book I Never Knew About! Aug 06, 2009
Well, finally! A systematic and basic approach to designing my own patterns. After years of depending on Commercial Patterns that someone else designed,I now feel as though I do not have to depend on Vogue or Butterick anymore. I feel like I have been "Creatively Liberated". I've bought pre-made patterner systems and another patternmaking video that I will not name and neither one did for me what I needed. But, now I feel like I have the ability to truly approach an idea I have for a design and make it come to life. This book will first of all, teach you how to take the proper measurements. Then, you will learn how to apply each measurement to your Pattern Paper in a step-by-step approach resulting in a Bodice or Skirt,etc. You will also learn The Three Principles of Patternmaking: Darts, Added Fullnes and Contouring.
Helen Joseph Armstrong gives you a system that makes you feel very confident about what you are doing. You will instantly learn that a Sloper is only "The Working Pattern" and that all the things you want to make will be created from that. Step 1 is the "Working Pattern" and step 2 is the "Design Pattern". Everything comes from step 1. The methods taught in this book are the same methods that Top Designers and Fashion Design Students use. You will not feel left out. After you get this book you will be able to more discuss the technical aspects of the industry with any professional and with confidence.
There are so many pre-made systems out there but, if you cannot design your own patterns from your mind you have cheated yourself! Once you have it in your head nobody can take that talent away from you! Anybody can take a pre-made plastic pattern system away from you! Please stop thinking about buying this book and go ahead and Do It! I have lost so many customers in the past because they wanted a specific design and I could not do it because I did not find the Commercial Pattern for it and I surely could not design it myself. I no longer have that problem! Good Luck to all your future design endeavors!
 Pattern Making For Fashion Design, by Helen Joseph Armstrong May 09, 2009
The book, "Pattern Making For Fashion Design" is exactly the book I wanted. However, there have been several new editions to this book. I would choose the latest edition instead of the original edition. I payed a hefty price for an outdated edition. I am disappointed.
