The complete photo guide to perfect fitting / Sarah Veblen. by Veblen, Sarah. Creative Pub. International, 2012. Call #: 646.407 V395c Subjects Clothing and dress measurements.   Clothing and dress -- Alteration.   Dressmaking -- Patterns.   Tailoring.   Sewing. ISBN:  9781589236080 (pbk.) 1589236084 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Perfect fitting Description:  224 p. : col. ill. ; 28 cm. Notes:  Includes index. Summary:  "This is a comprehensive how-to book about altering commercial patterns to customize the fit to one's own body before cutting out fabric and sewing the garment. Poor fit is the number one reason many sewers get discouraged with garment sewing. Author Sarah Veblen guides the reader through the steps of sewing a muslin test garment, fine-tuning the fit by pinning the garment to mold perfectly to the wearer's body, marking the adjustments, and then transferring those alterations to the commercial pattern. Veblen had developed this method during her career as a professional sewer and teacher and it is far more comprehensive and accurate than quick-fix flat-pattern methods in which patterns are altered using only a few body measurements. The results produce a perfectly fitting garment every time"--Provided by publisher. Other authors:  Creative Publishing International.
