We have a giveaway for you this week! It’s Carla Crim’s book, Pattern Making for Kids’ Clothes.
Carla Crim is known for her straightforward, easy to follow pdf pattern designs sold under the Scientific Seamstress line. She also collaborates on patterns with Jennifer Paganelli for the Sis Boom pattern line. If you have used any of her patterns, you will recognize Carla’s style in this book. The language is informal, and the information is presented in an easy to understand way.
If you have been looking at your pattern collection thinking, “I could do that!”, this book will help you get started. Slopers are essential to getting a good fit and pattern designers often make a significant investment of time or money (or both!) to obtain good slopers. This book includes slopers in sizes 3-12 in a downloadable format. 10 sizes of slopers. INCLUDED. That is AMAZING.
You can use the slopers to create your own pattern blocks, or as a guide to help you adjust patterns.
Don’t want to create your own pattern blocks? No problem! Carla provides pattern blocks for a peasant top, camp shirt, t-shirt, coat/jacket, vest, tunic, halter top, pants, skirts, two dresses, and rompers. The garments section of the book contains 90 pages of drawings and explanations of modifications you can make to these pattern blocks to bring your designs to life.
Twelve sets of pattern blocks + tons of suggested mods = hundreds (thousands?!?) of possibilities!
Want a chance to win your own copy?
Thanks to the great folks at Barron’s, we will give one away to one lucky Sewing Mamas reader! Enter below before midnight central time on Thursday, March 27.
Good luck!
