Barbara,
I'm interested in the modern tailoring "schnitte" books. Do you have
a list of translations that you've already done for these? I'm not a
begining tailor by any stretch, so, only the more detailed articles
are going to be relevant as are the articles on historical techniques,
fit, construction, materials. I"m interested in most methods for
heavily constructed garments, 16th thru 19th c.
Happy to answer tailoring questions if you like. Would love to show
you, too. (Oh for a boondoggle to Oz!) IMHO, most any pattern will
do, you're going to spend most of your jacket time on pin-fitting,
mockups, understructure & shaping. I've used Norah Waugh's book
instead of patterns. Arnold, too, of course.

... you also have a native German speaker on the list! And you have me all
excited -- while I was living in Germany, I haven't even noticed the
Rundschau myself, and now I'm about to go and subscribe to one of their
magazines -- have already subscribed to burda fashion patterns magazine (
http://www.burdamode.com/Magazines,1270777-1000019,enEN.html, but actually
the German one), but these ones
http://www.intelligenzbestien.wz.cz/images/rundschau.pdf hit even better the
point of what I need. Well, potentially. I do translations of the Spin-Off
magazine by Interweave Press (
http://www.interweave.com/spin/spinoff_magazine/default.asp) -- the other
way, from English into German -- on a voluntary basis. I'm also happy to
help!
