About the book >.>.> I have given explanations throughout as to why certain steps are taken so that the student can understand the principles of pattern drafting and not merely copy. That is the main reason why completed patterns are not shown which would limit your knowledge to a few styles in the fashion of today. I have endeavoured to teach all that is necessary to draft patterns for original designs whether they take inspiration from the past or anticipate the fashions trends of the future. Unfortunately there is not enough room in this book for all the pattern drafting that I teach but I have tried to include enough for you to make patterns for your own use or to assist you in furthering a career in the fashion trade. Outer wear tailored patterns and extra designs will have to be left for a second book. Many people have helped along the way in the journey this book has taken some to a greater extent than they know and I am grateful to them all. My family never failed in their encouragement and I am thankful to my son David Stringer for the design and layout of the book. My thanks also to my friend Deborah Fabrin who interpreted my drawings and diagrams with such skill. The many students I have taught over the years have given me the inspiration to further my own knowledge and it is their questions and desire to learn that resulted in the decision to write this book.
