This is a great book. However the Kindle copy I received was in imperial measurements and I work in metric. I would happily re-purchase if Amazon could link me to the correct version as I see other reviews complaining its in metric!!

5.0 out of 5 stars not a beginner book
Reviewed in the United States on 16 April 2023

I absolutely love this book. If you are new to pattern making I would say it might be a little harder to follow along. However if you know a good bit of sewing terms an are familiar with some rules then this is a GREAT book for any intermediate or above sewer absolutely recommend

4.0 out of 5 stars Peças originais!
Reviewed in Brazil on 11 March 2021

O livro apresenta peças de roupas muito originais e bonitas que dificilmente você vai ver em outros lugares. Na minha opinião este é o forte do livro: ser um inventório de ideias.
As modelagens das calças ficam sensacionais (na foto mostro a bermuda que fiz seguindo as instruções do livro).
As modelagens da camisa me incomodaram porque o autor não faz diferença entre a cava da frente e a das costas (são iguais para ambos, o que faz com que não fiquem lá muito confortáveis).
Uma coisa que me incomodou muito no ebook foi o fato de misturarem medidas metricas e imperiais. Nos textos usam polegadas, enquanto nos diagramas usam centimetros, deixando tudo muito confuso. Algumas vezes o autor usa medidas fixas sem justificar, o que pode deixar alguns resultados estranhos havendo portanto a necessidade de adaptar por conta própria (tem que ter algum conhecimento básico de modelagem e senso crítico para usar este livro).

5.0 out of 5 stars For a beginner like me, this is gold!
Reviewed in Germany on 9 May 2020

For a total beginner like me this is gold! Full of useful information from theoretical concepts to practical advice and execution indications. It's size is quite big (A4 like) and thik, glossy cover and very good and clear drawings and sketches. So easy to follow that I built my sloters/blocks very quickly and the first garments in a few hours. And you have all info as detailed as possible! Love it!
