Even beginners who have in their hands just a few fancy pens, a measuring tape, and a small pile of leftover fabrics can confidently begin their creativity. Anybody with basic sewing skills can do it!
*** Dear readers, this book has been updated! The last update was published on Nov 5, 2022. To bring more clarity and make pattern drafting easier for various sizes, an appendix with size guides and pre-calculated dimensions has been added. Please note the book is available in three formats and price options; e-book (ASIN: B09BBQ7PD6), black & white paperback (ASIN: B09BGM15YP), and color-printed paperback (ASIN: B09BMLLSWB). The approach using basic mathematics is introduced here to precisely create patterns of any desired dimensions. For crafters who are interested in the original designs, but may not want to draft patterns, actual-size patterns (such as ASIN: B09CRQFRJ7 and more) could be a more preferable option to promptly begin your new projects. ***
This book is not only good for home hobby sewers or amateur designers, but also for middle schoolers to college students who have an interest in sewing and fashion design, or are in the midst of finding cool ideas for their independent study.
