Pattern Magic 2

by Tomoko Nakamichi
Pattern Magic 2 - Thryft
Pattern Magic 2 - Thryft

Unique pattern-cutting techniques for sculptural garments.

Recommended for fashion designers and dressmakers interested in exploring new pattern-cutting techniques and creating stunning, sculptural clothes with a couture feel. The book offers step-by-step projects with clear diagrams and photographs showing the stages of construction, the muslins (toiles), and the finished garments. The book’s most distinctive feature is its focus on creating interesting surfaces, optical illusions, and curved shapes through pattern cutting.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
