Sewing patterns have been the principle blueprint for making
garments in the home for centuries. From their origins in the
tailoring manuals of the 16th century to the widely produced
pamphlets of the 18th and 19th centuries, through to the full size
packet patterns of today, their history and development has
reflected major changes in technology (such as the advent of the
sewing machine), retailing and marketing practices (the fashion
periodical), and shifts in social and cultural influences. This
accessible book explores this history, outlining innovations in
patternmaking by the companies who produced patterns and how these
reflected the fashions and demands of the market. Showcasing
beautiful illustrations from original pattern pamphlets, packets
and ads, as well as 9 complete patterns from which readers can
reproduce vintage garments of different eras, the book provides a
unique visual guide to homemade fashions as well as essential
exploration of the industry that produced them.
