Sparce and Murky
by Customer A1RK1HG76NIB6O at July 20th, 2007
I bought this book with excitement, and got some aid in patternmaking. But it's nothing to write home about. I never, ever made a pattern before, and this book didn't help very much. While it has a moderate amount of patterns, they are all variations of one another and the diagrams are very, very sparce. They illustrate the "basic" pattern and show you how to spread it out to make a "new" pattern. It isn't very clear, especially to someone who has no training in design whatsoever. It also lacks a lot of description and uses otherwise unfamiliar terms with candor. The author assumes a lot about the reader.

I would recommend a more extensive book, or take a course at a college.
