Dated it may be, but the Illustrated Hassle Free Make Your Own Clothes book set quite a few of us on the path of costuming, sewing and patternmaking. I for one was delighted to be freed from the tyranny of the pattern companies, whose size range, at that time, stopped at 14. Using their method of tracing existing garments helped me make some simple yet pretty dresses, tops,and pants, and that gave me the confidence and interest to learn more.

One can always learn, even from the most unlikely sources.
