Pattern Cutting and Making Up
by Janet Ward Martin ShobenMajor changes have occurred in the last few years in the methods of cutting and manufacturing outerwear. Light clothing companies are now manufacturing these heavy garments because of the development of fusible interlinings and new manufacturing techniques which have resulted in the deskilling of traditional tailoring methods. Outerwear has consquently assumed much greater importance in light clothing courses and this book - the first of its kind - has been written to reflect these industrial changes. It offers a course of practical and theoretical study which is related to specific garment types and fabrics. An essential manual for students at every level. Suitable for use in CGLI, BTEC and degree courses, this uniquely comprehensive work is certain to become a standard textbook on its subject.

Pattern Design: An Introduction to the Study of Formal Ornament
by Archibald H. ChristieApproaching the study of design from a structural point of view, this classic handbook tells the designer how to construct hundreds of patterns from all periods and styles. Dr. Christie analyzes the elemental composition of patterns, and shows how coherent organization is achieved in each of the patterns he describes and illustrates. He then establishes basic principles, derived from the unity of all great ornament, which, if followed, will assure the success of any design.In the opening chapters the author describes various basic methods of organizing ornament, and explains the formal classification of ornament into distinct categories. He covers the six major categories of design separately, showing how numerous variations are made: traditional plant and animal devices; realistic plants and animals; straight striped patterns; waved and chevron striped patterns; cross-band patterns; and interlaced and counterchanged cross-band patterns. In another chapter he shows how some isolated devices of formal design -- granular texturings, disk and ring devices, arabesques, and more -- are constructed. He shows how design is created by rhythmic expansion -- how an element like a spiral or a swastika, for example, can be expanded in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal progressions to create the rhythmic scheme that constitutes a formal design.The book contains more than 400 illustrations, including the author's drawing of designs as well as photographs of actual patterns in textiles, ceramics, jewelry, and more -- a wealth of valuable pictorial material that is not readily available. As a unified discussion of the nature of patterns, this book will be of great interest to anyone concerned with handicrafts or the fine arts.
Pattern Design
by Lewis F. DayTake any form you choose and repeat it at regular intervals, and, just as repetitive sounds produce rhythm or cadence, you have pattern. However, the use of pattern in design is no haphazard matter, but a disciplined activity in which the artists must impose a pleasing order and structure on the whole to achieve an aesthetically satisfying end product.This classic guide, revised and expanded by Amor Fenn three decades after its publication, teaches artists to do just that. Surveying a multitude of applications, from architectural detail to decorative textile printing and typographic patterns, Day provides insight into the geometric foundations of all repeating patterns, and treats in a practical way the anatomy, planning, and evolution of repeated ornament. He demonstrates the extent to which pattern is the essence of the ornamental arts, and offers a wealth of technical information for the student and designer.Generously illustrated with more than 270 designs ranging from old Japanese, Persian, and Arabian patterns to early 20th-century motifs, Pattern Design will stimulate the imaginations and advance the skills of novices and experts alike.
Pattern Fitting With Confidence: Sew, Serge And Pattern Fit With Confidence!

Once you learn Nancy's techniques for fitting, you will find it easy to make every garment you sew fit your size and shape. Multiple fitting charts are included in the book, as well as an index for locating technical information at a glance.
A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction
by Christopher Alexander Sara Ishikawa Murray SilversteinThe second of three books published by the Center for Environmental Structure to provide a "working alternative to our present ideas about architecture, building, and planning," A Pattern Language offers a practical language for building and planning based on natural considerations. The reader is given an overview of some 250 patterns that are the units of this language, each consisting of a design problem, discussion, illustration, and solution. By understanding recurrent design problems in our environment, readers can identify extant patterns in their own design projects and use these patterns to create a language of their own. Extraordinarily thorough, coherent, and accessible, this book has become a bible for homebuilders, contractors, and developers who care about creating healthy, high-level design.
