With hundreds of step-by-step illustrated instructions and a
user-friendly, stay-flat format, Patternmaking with Stretch Knit
Fabrics provides emerging fashion designers with comprehensive
information on how to draft patterns for popular cut-and-sew
stretch knit fabrics such as jersey and knits with spandex. After
covering the basics of knits and techniques for gauging stretch
capacity, Julie Cole introduces a unique, simplified approach to
drafting slopers using hip and top foundations. She then provides
information on converting, drafting, grading, and reducing patterns
for proper fit in four categories of stretch. The book proceeds to
drafting slopers and patterns for tops, dresses, jackets, sweaters,
cardigans, skirts, pants, lingerie, swimwear, and activewear.
Patternmaking with Stretch Knit Fabrics is ideal for students with
basic or intermediate design, patternmaking, and sewing skills for
any course in which students design and draft patterns for knits;
or courses that incorporate both knits and woven fabrics. Features
