Metric Pattern Cutting for Children's Wear and Babywear, 4th Edition

Really pleased with this book because the designs are very versatile and there is so much information about sizing. I have a computer programme for adult designs and this book complements it because the measurements for children's clothes are quite different from the adult ones. Only criticism is that the cover (hardback) is upside down! However that doesn't affect the content.

A fantastic addition to any sewing room library

Wonderful book

Winifred Aldrich's pattern cutting books are a pattern cutters bible. Follow her instructions step by step and you have basic blocks from which to create any design, in flat pattern cutting. I treasure my books, and refer to them for all my blocks. This book is updated to reflect modern day children's figures, although I do suspect, obesity hasn't been taken into account, quite on the scale that has appeared in the UK. A fabulous resourceful book.

I've only flipped through this book since getting it - the content looks incredibly useful and thorough (despite being fairly old now), but there's a manufacturing fault which means that the cover is on back-to-front and upside-down, making it a bit irritating to keep opening the book and having to flip it. I don't care enough to return it since everything inside the cover seems fine, but I wrote this review to warn others that this is a possibility in case it would bother you. I ordered through Amazon Prime so it's not some knock-off version, just a fault in the manufacturing I suppose.

I ordered this book to enable me to make my own patterns. I have been sewing for many years and have always adapted my own patterns but have never been able to make my own properly. This book is brilliant, I really love it. I would not recommend it however for people who have no knowledge of the basics of sewing as they could find it difficult to put into practice. I did read the reviews on this book before buying which helped me with my decision.

This is an excellent book and very detailed. Especially helpful with sizing which is not as obvious for kids as it is for adults. If you are new to making clothes you might find it bit off putting but stick with it and you won't regret it. The best book of its type on the market.

I have the women's wear pattern cutting book and find the updated version of this children's pattern book very useful. The way the author tackles our modern day issues of obesity and the preference for easy care and easy wear fabrics makes the book invaluable for anyone who wants to make children's clothes.

Best book ever. Easy to follow, draft and understand. All the collection is a MUST HAVE to anyone who wants to start drafting your own patterns.

Very detailed n helpful

Delivered on the day that was promised. I love the book.

I bought both the Women's book and the Children's happy with both. If you are a beginner or a little experienced this is a great product.

Très bon livre, nécessite des connaissances avancées mais une fois maitrisé; la mise en pratique devient du vrai plaisir.
