Pants for Any Body

Rating:
Summary: If you love trousers this book is for you.
Review: Have you ever brought trouser patterns, followed the instructions religiously and ended up with a pair sacks rather than slacks.
Lets face it when you decide to put time and effort into sewing a pair of trousers, you want to be able to get a perfect fit.
I have been sewing for a long time but have never managed to sew a pair of trousers that I was truely happy with. So I was rather sceptical of the hints and tips that the book suggested.
I followed the instructions in this book which were clear, with good diagrams, and just the right touch of humour. It showed me how to alter my patterns quite easily to accommodate my own unique lumpy bits.
I was truely amazed at the results.
I produced a pair of trousers that fit perfectly and have gone on to make several pairs that all fit perfectly[ from a variety of patterns].
Therefore I would recommend that if you have not done so already, buy this book.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This is a wonderful book on making pants. Not only do the authors explain how to fit pants to your body but they also explain little known facts about how pattern companies make patterns, making it much easier to pick a pattern size that will fit you better.

Some added content on fitting specific types of pants (including mens pants) was a real bonus. If you want to make your own pants this is a very helpful book.
