Metric Pattern Cutting for Children's Wear and Babywear,
This fourth edition of Metric Pattern Cutting for Children’s Wear and Babywear remains the standard text book but has three majorimprovements. First, the sections have been re-organised to reflect changes in producing and marketing children’s clothes. Today’s popularity of easy-fitting styles and knitted fabrics means that basic ‘flat’ pattern cutting is used to construct the majority of children’s wear and babywear and this type of cutting is therefore emphasised in this new edition. Shaped blocks and garments, cut to fit the body form, are still included, and are placed in chapters covering some school uniform garments or more expensive fashion or formal clothes. The book now clearly separates the sections useful to student beginners (Parts One, Two and Three), and also offers more advanced or specialist sections for students who wish to pursue a career in children’s wear or for designers working in the different manufacturing sectors of the trade. The second change in this fourth edition is the introduction of colour coding to the sections; this makes it easier to identify specific processes in the book and enhances the illustrations. Finally, the size charts have been revised to reflect the changes in body sizing. The clear division of the boys’ and girls’ measurements in the charts has been in response to the way clothes are marketed and to co-ordinate with European size charts. ‘Plus’ charts for heavier children have also been added.

United States (US) units and Metric conversions are given for all measurements. Young children, teens, and adults will enjoy making these doll clothes using this no-sew method with these patterns, and have a great deal of fun while doing it. The author speaks of her inspiration for writing this book, designing and making these patterns as being her granddaughter, Taylor, who at the age of four and a half years of age wanted to make doll clothes; but she was too young to use a sewing machine or needles. Therefore, the author created this unique simple way of making doll clothes without sewing, and designed the doll clothes and made the patterns. There are many benefits to spending quality time together with friends and family members, and making these doll clothes provides a new opportunity for siblings, parents, grandparents and great grandparent to do so as a group or as individual activities, and have a lot of fun while doing it. Adult supervision and assistance may be needed for some individuals. The author cites everything that is needed before getting started making these doll clothes including choosing a good place to work, how to protect the work area, how to measure dolls and how to make simple alterations without sewing. A list of notions needed for making these doll clothes is given that can be included in a no-sew sewing basket. The author stresses the importance of using age appropriate scissors and notions. A description of the fabric, trim and materials used for each pattern piece in each outfit is provided. Child friendly fabrics and trim that are ideal for making these doll clothes, using this no-sew method, is given. Suggestions are provided on how to save money on fabrics and trim in making these doll clothes including how to make them with little or no cost. Helpful tips are provided for making the doll clothes. Clear instructions are provided on how to join the seams of these doll clothes using felt glue and hook and loop fasteners instead of sewing with needles, thread and a sewing machine. Instructions are given on how to mark the fabric, prepare it for cutting, and how to follow the cutting layout for the patterns. This debut book by a new author changes all of the misconceptions about having to have a sewing machine and sewing skills in order to make quality doll clothes. Neither experience, sewing skills, sewing needles, nor a sewing machine is used in making doll clothes and accessories using this unique no-sew method and patterns.

Cutting for All!,The Sartorial Arts, Related Crafts, and the Commercial Paper Pattern : a Bibliographic Reference Guide for Designers, Technicians, and Historians
Containing 2,729 entries, Kevin L. Seligman’s bibliography concentrates on books, manuals, journals, and catalogs covering a wide range of sartorial approaches over nearly five hundred years. After a historical overview, Seligman approaches his subject chronologically, listing items by century through 1799, then by decade. In this section, he deals with works on flat patterning, draping, grading, and tailoring techniques as well as on such related topics as accessories, armor, civil costumes, clerical costumes, dressmakers’ systems, fur, gloves, leather, military uniforms, and undergarments. Seligman then devotes a section to those American and English journals published for the professional tailor and dressmaker. Here, too, he includes the related areas of fur and undergarments. A section devoted to journal articles features selected articles from costume- and noncostumerelated professional journals and periodicals. The author breaks these articles down into three categories: American, English, and other. Seligman then devotes separate sections to other related areas, providing alphabetical listings of books and professional journals for costume and dance, dolls, folk and national dress, footwear, millinery, and wigmaking and hair. A section devoted to commercial pattern companies, periodicals, and catalogs is followed by an appendix covering pattern companies, publishers, and publications. In addition to full bibliographic notation, Seligman provides a library call number and library location if that information is available. The majority of the listings are annotated. Each listing is coded for identification and cross-referencing. An author index, a title index, a subject index, and a chronological index will guide readers to the material they want. Seligman’s historical review of the development of publications on the sartorial arts, professional journals, and the commercial paper pattern industry puts the bibliographical material into context. An appendix provides a cross-reference guide for research on American and English pattern companies, publishers, and publications. Given the size and scope of the bibliography, there is no other reference work even remotely like it.
