My guiding philosophy when writing these books is, that I want to write the books I wanted and needed when I was starting out. These CD books are for those people, like myself, who wish to master the craft of haute couture pattern making and construction. The big advantage of books on CD is that I'm not limited by the constraints of publishing a paper book, but can include as many illustrations, photos, and explanations as I feel necessary, to be entirely clear about the topic. •

Cool Couture is still selling strong!
To read a review, click here. Full disclosure: The UK version of this book is called Home Sewing: Couture Techniques. Know that these books are exactly the same, except the title and cover on the UK version are different. There seems to be no information on Amazon that this is so, that's why I mention it here. A special offer: Email Kenneth proof of purchase, and he will email you a pdf lesson of the slant welt pocket. This pocket was developed after the book went to press, and references different sections of the book. Kenneth's email is: And, if you want it autographed... Go to Patternreview.com and you can purchase an autographed copy See me on Threadbanger! •
Upcoming Classes Kenneth teaches classes at Sew-Right,in Bayside Queens. To sign up, click here for their classes page. You can get information on these classes, and Sew-Right, by going to:www.sewright.com
• On-line Classes Take Kenneth's online classes at www.patternreview.com • De-Mystifying Fit: Using the moulage to adjust commercial patterns $27.95 by Lynda Maynard People have asked me, how to use the moulage (and the slopers it generates), to adjust commercial sewing patterns. I myself draft designs from scratch, so have been only able to give general answers. If this information ever was in print, I'm not aware of it. My friend and colleague Lynda Maynard, has made that question her challenge. She has indeed developed the method to adjust commercial patterns from the moulage. Better news--she has finished a CD book, outlining this technique, using text, illustrations, and photographs of a number of real-figure women. In this way, Lynda is clearly demonstrating the theory and practice of this new technique. To see a sample page, click here. It's exciting, when new thinking comes into the base of sewing knowledge, and this work is just that. That's why I helped her a little bit to photograph and to organize the CD book, which will have 282 pages, with over 600 photos. I learned a lot in the process. You can contact Lynda Maynard directly, at 408)362-1864, or email her at lmaynardsews@yahoo.com You can send a check for $27.95 (shipping included in the U.S. $8.00 extra for international orders) to: Lynda Maynard, 531 Glenburry Way, San Jose, CA, 95123 She also takes Paypal! Her address at Paypal is lmaynardsews@yahoo.com
