Integrating Draping, Drafting and Drawing

This book is clearly written with the pictures to match.believe me,you won't be disappointed.I have several draping books and this is in my top three.This book takes an easy approach to draping and drafting.Both techniques are used when creating a pattern.This book is really good!

Excellent book.

The information in this book is just what I've been looking for. It covers the whole rhelm of fitting & sewing for others. Thank you

A plethora of info. This is a must to have in your reference library. Just ensure you get an unmarked copy if buying used or at least readable one because critical info can get lost in colored markings. Info is thorough and up to date. Love that it is spiraled.

I love the idea of a book that covers all three: draping, drafting, and drawing. But this book isn’t it. The draping instructions are, for a beginner, sometimes hard to follow because even though there are sketches and photos, the text doesn’t always indicate which images to refer to. The sketching lessons are good, but not as concentrated in one location as I’d like, I.e. a little scattered. But the drafting instructions take the cake. They are incomplete and sometimes plain old inaccurate. Sometimes the text instructions don’t match the measurements in the sketches. A lot of explanation is left out or is not balanced throughout the series of instructions. Typos abound. NOT a good choice for a beginner.

I really needed a good reference for my job. After research, this book made my short list. I read thru all the reviews and ordered this book and it is very good.First things first: this is NOT a "rough" book. It measures up to most books I use regularly. Please ignore that review if possible.Pros: this book is very personal. It has the feel of someone that is speaking to me. I like the fact that it is written by more than one person. The projects they select are interrelated closely - I guess that's the 'Integrating' part, and it works well.I am a bit technical, so it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but this book is very specific and measured.The instructions are clear, but you have to follow them from the beginning. If you cannot follow instructions, you just might not be able to do this work.Cons: The pages are a bit thin for my taste. It's such a shame that the publisher couldn't pony up for better paper. I have worked in the publishing industry and I know from first hand experience that the authors get *no* choice about this kind of detail. If they refuse, the publisher simply moves on to the next author. I have seen one or two authors go on to self-publish at enormous self expense with little or not return. (see my comment on the "rough" review to the diva)----------This book goes firmly on my shelf. It's an excellent reference with a long life ahead of it.Thank you for writing this book.

I have to use this book for sewing class and I hate it. I love to sew and drape, but even though it gives you pictures it's NOT detailed. For instance: measure 1'' and fold. okay, but measure from what point and fold where? It is also quite flimsy binding (something I'd see in a notebook) so it's beyond me why it's so expensive other than pure greed.I only bought this book because I had to.

This was a gift for my 18 year old on her birthday and she was very excited about it. Now to use it, since her birthday was only a week ago.

Estupendo libro para trabajar y desarrollar patrones base.

The book is lovely. However I received the parcel very late. Had a lot of trouble with Aramex as i had to call umpteen number of times for kyc updation for customs clearance. Then, even though to book had been received at their facility in my city i three days before and already overdue, the book wasn't handed over to me.I like the way tis book is broken into many sections and has many pictures.The book has very good info and i will keep this book.
