DIGITAL VERSION of MAKING PATTERNS FROM EXISTING GARMENTS by Kenneth D. King

DIGITAL VERSION of the PDF book MAKING PATTERS FROM EXISTING GARMENTS by Kenneth D. King outlines the method of taking a pattern from an existing garment, without taking that garment apart. Kenneth's method uses buff-colored silk organza as the medium with which to retrieve the information from the garment.

there is a special section on using this method to copy trousers, a section on how to find grain lines when they aren't readily visible, a section on how to fine grain lines on shirts and blouses, and a section on copying puffed sleeves. A separate section shows how to handle pleats in garments.

And then a section on pattern making, he shows how to translate this information into a working pattern, complete with facings, interlinings and linings.
