Patterns Discussion / Re: Fitting Book Recommendation... please!
« on: June 02, 2017, 20:06:12 PM »For simplicity, easy to understand and beginners I think Fit for Real People by Pati Palmer is one of the best.
I have both the Palmer/Pletsch and a Rasband, autographed, no less! I have to agree with OSS, if you are just starting, get the former. Once things start to make sense, get the latter.
I will also recommend making a toile of a basic garment, marking CF, CB, Bust, Waist, Hips etc. to visualize WHERE your body typically varies from the standard.
I love Burda and EU pattern magazines because they give so many measurements! Something the US Big4 and/or Indies can't seem to figure out yet.
