Book Reviews of How to Make Sewing Patterns
Book Review: Patternmaking made simple
Summary: 5 Stars
Don book is reasonable priced and is what I used in learning to make patterns.
Yes the book is no frills, but the techniques make sense and easy to follow/use. I have others patternmaking books which I paid more money for and do not use them. How To Make Sewing Patterns (HMSP) is the first and last book I pick up. I am always telling people about Don amazing skills. Many are so amazed that a disable veteran can make her own patterns. They think I am very heavy in sewing. I am not only able to make basic patterns but I can create my own designs too.
Don is an awesome pattern drafting teacher and group owner. I grew so much in my sewing since getting Don's book and being in his free group. Fabulous!!!! His classes are reasonable priced too. His critique is awesome. You got to do your part but someone is always there to see you through. Buying this book changed my life. It is hard to express, how making patterns and learning to be creative has improve my overall health.
Lastly I must say, you feel at home and welcome in Don's diverse group. I found the group listed in the back of book.
