 Unit Method of Clothing Construction Seventh Edition
Phyllis Brackelsberg and Ruth Marshall
Whether you’re a beginner wanting to know the
very basics of sewing a straight seam, a long-time professional who wants to
know the fastest, most effective way to alter a garment for sloping shoulders,
or a fashion-sewer asking just about any sewing-related question, this book is
for you. Comprehensive and profusely illustrated, Unit Method of Clothing
Construction, 7/E, promotes the unit measure of construction as a
time-saving approach to sewing. In this method, each garment section is treated
as a unit to be completed to the greatest extent possible before being attached
to other garment sections. Outstanding features: includes methods for sewing on
conventional sewing machines and the serger or overlock machine; presents the
basics for the beginner; introduces material in an easy-to-understand way, with
step-by-step instructions and clear illustrations; covers sewing on all types of
fabrics, including knits, plaids, and specialty fabrics; and provides chapters
on pattern alterations and garment fit. The Seventh Edition of Unit Method of
Clothing Construction makes an excellent reference for the professional
seeking alternate methods. It is also valuable for students enrolled in
construction, flat pattern or draping classes and will be a useful reference
whether sewing for women, men or children. For those seeking work in the apparel
industry, this practical guidebook will provide important and necessary training
in the areas of fit and garment assembly. $37.95 list, 280 pages 10-digit ISBN: 1-57766-054-4 13-digit ISBN: 978-1-57766-054-5 © 1990
