Description
Create a wardrobe full of perfectly fitting garments without destroying the originals. This practical guide explains how to remake your best-loved clothes using accessible pattern-making techniques. Claire-Louise Hardie shares her methods for creating a wardrobe full of garments that can be remade again and again in different fabrics. The Cloning School section covers various techniques, including direct measurement, tracing, over draping, and combining techniques, with step-by-step instructions and photography to illustrate each method. The Design School section shows you how to apply these techniques to specific garments, such as a pair of trousers, a simple dress, a gathered skirt, a shirt, and a camisole top. By learning these techniques, you can create a wardrobe full of unique, well-fitting garments without having to destroy the originals.
