Sewing Shirts with a Perfect Fit

More about the book

"In Sewing Shirts with a Perfect Fit, author, teacher, and renowned shirt-sewing expert David Page Coffin shows how you can easily transform the printed, multi-sized patterns included with the book (as well as patterns you already have) into three different customized basic shirt silhouettes--a loose fit, a trim fit, and a close fit--for both men and women. Using his couture-inspired draping methods on figure models and a collection of custom-shaped body forms, David demonstrates how to adjust seams and armholes and add darts to achieve the right fit for each silhouette. Get inspired by the four distinctive, original step-by-step shirt design and construction projects that show a variety of classic and contemporary shirt and shirtdress styles you can make with the included patterns."--Provided by publisher
