Metric Pattern Cutting for Children's Wear and Babywear 4th Edition

Excellent resource for drafting and designing your own sewing patterns. A must have for all sewers that design their own clothing and make patterns. Also makes converting patterns to pdf format easier. Fantastic reference and go-to books that I am so very glad a teacher (teaching how to make pdf patterns) recommended but does not have the text book pricing! I got all 3 books for my birthday - Metric Pattern Cutting for Women's Wear, Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear and Metric Pattern Cutting for Children's Wear and Babywear.

This book has a very professional content. It could be considered a textbook. The price is steep,yet with the very helpful sizing charts and clear instructions for creating clothing patterns, it is worth it. There are many pattern ideas for boys and girls and plenty of how to information for creating your own designs. I would recommend this book to anyone serious about creating patterns for children. The metric sizing is no big deal, flip your measuring tape over to metric.

With well-laid-out concepts and extensive charts, Metric Pattern Cutting is a must-have on any children's clothing designer's shelf. I refer to it when I draft new blocks or play with established styles. Home sewists ready for a new challenge will also find it a great resource. If you're tired of the same-old, same-old, this slim reference will give you the tools to break out with your own shapes and styles.

great book but I have to agree with the other reviewers that the sizing runs a bit big. As I learn though I can make the adjustments.disappointed with the seller however as the book I received is only allowed for sale in India.

has a number of charts from baby to plus sizes of the standard body measurements in metric. I have had to convert to imperial so using the book is a bit slower. The book gets right to the point without extra detail or explanations. Not a beginners book

I highly recommend this for those who want to make extensive patterns for childrenswear! I teach this in my class! :)

A great resource! The instructions are clear and well written, yet no important steps are skipped. Definitely recommend for anybody wanting to make their own patterns. Also, if you plan to make patterns for sale, this is a must.

I have read parts of the book and think I can do it, I just have trouble with making the metric conversions with out a calculator.
