This comprehensive guide explores the fundamental sewing methods
fashion designers need and teaches professional garment
construction. Chapter One introduces sewing tools and machinery
(including industrial machines). It discusses how to work with
patterns and explains cutting-out methods. Chapter Two is devoted
to different fabrics and how they work, focusing on the
construction of a garment, including fastenings and trimmings, and
the use of materials to support structured pieces, such as corsets.
Hand-sewing techniques and basic seams are explored in Chapter
Three. Techniques are demonstrated with step-by-step photographic
guides combined with technical drawings. A guide to making garment
details and decorations, such as pockets, waistlines, and
necklines, is found in Chapter Four. Chapter Five addresses
fabric-specific techniques, for everything from lace to neoprene.
The best technical approaches to use for patternmaking and
construction are discussed for each fabric. Catwalk images
demonstrate how these kinds of techniques are employed by
designers.
