Review on 🎨 Unlocking Creativity: Exploring Pattern Magic's Artistic Design Techniques by Jessica Lewis

I tend to be very conservative about what I wear and although I found some of the clothes *out* gross, the most important thing was the techniques because once you learn the technique you can do anything do . I was excited to see it was available in English; I have been collecting Japanese language craft books for decades since discovering these amazing creations while living there. The books were so carefully and beautifully made that you could make wonderful things out of them even if you couldn't read a word. Craftsmanship is about care, not mass production, and the books are pleasing to the eye. Whatever you create, the attention to detail makes it something you will use and cherish for the rest of your life. the bodice was beautiful with alternating folds at the front, which reminded one of a stalk of wheat. Note that these weren't just some fancy cuts and stitches that sacrificed fit; The darts were simply turned and worked into the design. And not all techniques have to start with an incline; Some of these can simply be incorporated as modifications of an existing pattern of the appropriate type that fits well. Creating a flat pattern is easily accessible to anyone who has a very good understanding of sewing basics such as: B. the effects of changing the fiberline for different fabric types. Fabrics and the importance of darts (as well as how to use different types of darts to control fullness). All in all, this is a wonderful addition to an area where books are in short supply, due in large part to unfounded fear on the part of many closers. (Honestly, it's a lot easier for me to just sketch a cropper to create other patterns than to make endless adjustments to fit for each new pattern - fit adjustments that vary by manufacturer.) By the way, I'm tired of to try I draw my own Crocky all the time so I bought a Fashionflat Sketchpad {Women's Collection} album with extremely thick covers and high quality paper.
