Review: No wonder clothes don't fit me! - I thought that converting from inches to centimeters would be annoying, but I quickly found that centimeters are much nicer to work with: more precise, easier to read on a ruler, and easier math. Then I compared my first draft of my Aldrich sleeve sloper to my Suzy Furrer and Mood Fabrics drafts, and noticed huge variations between my body shape and Industry Standards. Suzy is great with a lot of attention to detail, but her experience seems to rely heavily on Industry Standards and dress forms. Mood Fabrics is great at simplifying drafting, but my result was way off from being useful for my bodice sloper. My neck is small, shoulders narrow, back wide, upper torso quite cylindrical, hips wide, very long slim arms and legs... so many adjustments to make in commercial patterns. During my first 8 hours with this book, I feel a surge of optimism that I will make clothes that I love. My Aldrich sleeve sloper required more geometry and measurements than Suzy or Mood, and my body quirks need that. I love Aldrich's practice of drafting a sleeve sloper on top of a copy of the corresponding bodice sloper. Easy reference to the bodice, and so sensible when they are so closely related!
Review: GREAT text book for learning to pattern! - I’ve been struggling to teach myself to pattern my own clothes, I’ve been sewing all my life (in my 60’s) using bought’n patterns, and have ALWAYS struggled to fit them to myself, but this book is a game changer! Of late I’ve tried using utube, and sewing sites to teach myself to how to make a sloper or pattern blocks and seem to just ended up frustrated and unproductive trying to use all the math formulae’s these utubers tell you to use to get the measurements they use … This little text book is designed for students, and teaches you in a very structured way how to measure yourself, and make pattern “slopers” to fit you! It is in metric, so you can just turn your tape measure over and read it in centimeters! :) It is unbelievably informative, easy to understand with hundreds of pictures and examples of each of the required challenges to fit a pattern to your own body. There are other books in this series from the same author, and I will be ordering these as well. GREAT buy for any home sewer, or even experienced ones reminding them how to pattern.
