Description
With hundreds of step-by-step illustrated instructions and a user-friendly, lay-flat format, Patternmaking with Stretch Knit Fabrics, Second Edition provides emerging fashion designers with comprehensive information on how to draft patterns for popular cut-and-sew stretch knit fabrics, such as jersey and knits with spandex.
After covering the basics of knits and techniques for gauging stretch capacity, Julie Cole provides a clear and unique explanation of drafting slopers using hip and top foundations. She then provides information on converting, drafting, grading, and reducing patterns for proper fit in four categories of stretch. The book proceeds to drafting slopers and patterns for tops, dresses, jackets, sweaters, cardigans, skirts, pants, lingerie, swimwear, and activewear.
Patternmaking with Stretch Knit Fabrics, Second Edition is ideal for students with basic or intermediate patternmaking and sewing skills for any course in which students design and draft patterns using both knits and woven fabrics. It is the only textbook entirely devoted to patternmaking and working with stretch knits in the market, making it a crucial addition to students’ education.
