Review on Complete Guide to Pattern Making for Kids' Clothes: Design, Adaptation, and Customization of Sewing Patterns for Children's Clothing by Kelsey Brown

If PDF Blocks were user friendly I would give this book 5 stars. It's a great idea generator and pretty good at explaining how to modify blocks to get what you want. The chapter on changing patterns is pretty good. The digitizing templates section, while basic, is good, and its simplicity makes it less intimidating. However, PDF Blocks are one file per 106 pages. All sizes are there, but they are not organized in a useful way. Pieces for a block can be on pages 4, 66, 67 and 90, this is up to you. That means you'll spend hours piecing together multiple blocks. Given the price of the book, block printing instructions seem necessary. How difficult would it be to have a little guide on which pages to print to get a bodice/skirt/pant block the size you want. For a book this well thought out, that's really annoying.
