Design Room Techniques

by Laurel Hoffmann

Extensively tested with fashion students, entrepreneurs, and design room personnel over a period of 20 years, 400 plus pages of information and step-by-step diagrams provide a fundamental, extensive, comprehensive understanding of industry's high-end design room design and sample making (sewing) processes. Includes instructions and patterns for high-end zipper sets, kick pleats, hems, seam finishes, bias bindings, buttonholes, and many more; enabling the reader to produce a 55 page book of professional samples for personal reference, and/or to show to clients and potential employers. Also includes a CD that presents the PDF of the author's master sample book. Only minimal equipment and a basic sewing machine are needed to produce the samples.
