No Patterns Needed: DIY Couture from Simple Shapes Review: So you want to get away from patterns? - I am not a great sewist and, despite learning to make my own sloper, I’ve been stymied by patterns again and again. And I’m not tall and skinny like a model. (More short and lumpy.) Yet I love to make clothes for myself out of good linen and by recycling interesting cotton fabric. Which is why I have decided I love Rosie Martin. You don’t need a pattern with this book, just your measurements. And you can take the dress designs apart to make things like cool tops or interesting bottoms — or to modify a design to make it look more flattering on you. And, best of all, you can make most of these designs in less than a weekend. Yay! Thank you, Rosie Martin, for No Patterns Needed. It’s just what this older, non-model sewist needed! Review: Great for improvisers - I have Rosie's earlier book, DIY Couture, and I really love this follow-up. I work in the industry and I love her pattern-free technique. I think she sets everything out very plainly and is very easy to follow. Plus, I love the styles. If you are someone who can't improvise in your sewing, I can understand why you may find this perplexing. However, learning to work without patterns can give you a lot more insight into fit and proportion. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1780678282 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,485,582 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,039 in Fashion Craft #2,496 in Sewing (Books) #2,637 in Fashion Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (127) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.88 x 9.75 inches | | ISBN-10 | 9781780678283 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1780678283 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 208 pages | | Publication date | August 16, 2016 | | Publisher | Laurence King Publishing | ## Images ![No Patterns Needed: DIY Couture from Simple Shapes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/313maWXzhzL.jpg) ![No Patterns Needed: DIY Couture from Simple Shapes - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31ZUhP3+ZzL.jpg) ![No Patterns Needed: DIY Couture from Simple Shapes - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/417sI5QSxXL.jpg) ![No Patterns Needed: DIY Couture from Simple Shapes - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41JjAtJDG0L.jpg) ![No Patterns Needed: DIY Couture from Simple Shapes - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41N2IoSeTWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So you want to get away from patterns? *by M***E on February 10, 2021* I am not a great sewist and, despite learning to make my own sloper, I’ve been stymied by patterns again and again.
