Designing Patterns for Clothing is a well written and accessible tutorial guide and primer for sewists and designers, curated and written by Suzanne Furrer. Released 9th Sept 2025 by Fox Chapel on their Landauer imprint, it's 280 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats.
The guide and tutorials are very encouraging and accessible, the author has a good grasp of technique and presents info in a straightforward, logical manner. This is a solid general guide, and will give broad basic tuition in straightforward forms and basic shapes. The info presented is arranged logically and thematically in chapters.
Although there are no -specific- tutorials for more elaborate/costume/cosplay type variations, moderately confident beginners could definitely use the info contained in this volume to branch out into more elaborate forms and variations without too much trouble.
It's an encyclopedic volume and would make an excellent resource for the home sewist's reference library as well as group studio shared spaces and library acquisition.
Five stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
