Review: Fascinating yet Practical - I have been reading through this book for a few weeks and I am so impressed with how complete it is. It is chalk full of great ideas, tips and detailed explanation on exactly what to do to create children's sewing patterns. The author, Carla Crim, is a master teacher in that respect. She is able to capture the beginner or experienced sewist and explain the details in such a way that everyone can follow along. The chapters are arranged beginning with the basics and then she takes you through how to make all types of tops, pants, skirts, dresses and rompers. Finally, the book describes how to take it to the pro level. I've been sewing for years and years yet learned something new in each chapter. There are excellent charts, pictures and diagrams throughout the whole book. I would obviously HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who sews. Even if you don't plan on making patterns, to gain the understanding of how patterns are designed really helps sewists to understand how garments are put together or how to make adjustments during construction. Happy Reading and Sewing Everyone!!! :)
Review: PHENOMENAL REFERENCE THAT NO SEWING ROOM SHOULD BE WITHOUT!!! - This book hasn't gotten the credit or high praise that it DEFINITELY deserves!!!! Yes, there are a few things I would've changed/added; HOWEVER, as one of the ONLY books on the market that actually addresses and focuses solely on pattern making for KIDS clothes....AND for an insanely reasonable and awesome price!!!! Yes, there are more 'technical' and 'professional' textbooks and reference books available for 'fashion designers' and for adult clothing/perfect fitting to your own body, but this book is an EXCELLENT resource for anyone --- even the most advanced --- that is well worth the price! The author should definitely be proud of this work and commended for providing the 'how-to's' of pattern making instead of just providing a book of 10-20 pre-made patterns for you to sew! I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT THIS BOOK AND ANY "NEGATIVES" ARE EASILY AND QUICKLY FORGOTTEN WITHIN MINUTES OF FLIPPING THROUGH THE PAGES!!!!!! :) EXCELLENT RESOURCE! WELL DONE, WELL WRITTEN, AND I WOULD ABSOLUTELY PURCHASE A 'FOLLOW-UP' OR ADDITIONAL BOOKS BY THIS AUTHOR!

*by F***E on February 26, 2014*

I am an advanced seamstress and I design patterns. I spent hundreds of dollars buying commercial slopers. I cannot get over that this book includes blocks for children from sizes 3-12. Whether you intend to design clothing for your own child or you want to design patterns for sale, this is a good place to start. The blocks included in the book more than pay for the purchase price. Carla has said that this is not a comprehensive pattern drafting book. That is correct, however, if you have a working knowledge of pattern drafting, the book will be very useful for you. There are links to other books on pattern drafting for those who want more information. Links to the slopers are included, so you do not have to draft your own blocks from measurements. I think that's important to know if you are just starting out. If I was just starting to design children's clothes, this would be the first book I'd buy. It is well written and very clearly illustrated.
