 Basic Sewing for Costume Construction A Handbook
Rebecca Cunningham
Backed by decades of classroom use and testing by the author, Basic Sewing for Costume Construction is an easy-to-follow guide to fundamental sewing skills. Its easy-to-follow projects cover hand stitching, hand-sewn fasteners, and seams, all while teaching a simplified approach to pattern making. Students learn to translate their body measurements into patterns for garments of their own design. They follow the steps from developing a pattern, to preparing a fitting muslin, to creating a finished garment. Each project builds on the previous one to develop a full understanding of the costume construction process.
