The book starts with the assumption that the reader already has a "commercial basic pattern that has previously been altered to fit the individual". (found in the introduction) To that effect, it commences to show the reader how to ALTER the pattern into different styles to suit the reader. It's not meant to show you how to create a pattern from scratch. Compared to other books I checked out at the library, this was very concise with easy to follow illustrations. From this book I am now able to crat my own [atterns. But it is hard to find the pattern to fit every body one has to alter according to size.that is why I have to use my mind in creating fit size.Once I found a pattern that fit my choise of size, I used the book to alter the dimensions to create other looks that I would otherwise not be able to find commercial patterns for.
Incidentally a good book for making patterns from scratch is "Basic Pattern Skills For Fashion Design." It starts off using the drape method to get the pattern then proceeds to the flat method for alterations.
Inspirational one!
