"A complete guide to the reproduction, restoration, and wearing of vintage styles. There's a large and unique section on making your own patterns from a variety of sources, such as from gridded scale drawings or pattern drafts from books, scaling pattern drawings with a projector, copying original garments, writing your own sewing instructions once you have the pattern, and even using vintage patterns. [The book includes] detailed sections on taking body measurements and altering patterns, and on repairing and altering vintage garments."--Threads.
