Sample Workbook to Accompany Professional Sewing Techniques for Designers

The workbook gives the student an opportunity to put into practice many of the stitching techniques outlined in Professional Sewing Techniques for Designers, 2nd Edition.

This companion workbook consists of project instructions and card stock worksheets in a 3-hole binder for convenient storage. Using these resources, students can sew sample garment details and record design information for ongoing and additional projects. The instructions for each project list the supplies and tasks needed to prepare the samples, plus clear cross references to sewing techniques in the textbook, Professional Sewing Techniques for Designers, 2nd Edition, and the downloadable half-scales patterns available to complete projects. Sample and Sewing worksheets are made of card stock for durable sample mounting and include space to attach sample and label sewing techniques, fabric type, fiber content, lining type, interfacing type, stitching order, stitch length, and notes on where to use the stitching technique on a garment and stitching mistakes. As students use the workbook to practice the sewing techniques, it becomes an ongoing resource and part of the design student's fashion library.
