"“The comprehensive guidance covers an impressive range of garb and techniques, and is presented in a manner straightforward enough that even novice sewists will feel prepared to tackle the projects. The result is a superior guide on creating custom clothing.” * Publishers Weekly * ""Sewists of all levels who are curious about creating fashionable wardrobe pieces from start to finish will be overjoyed to find this book by Jewell, a well-known pattern designer. Beginning with explanations of sewing basics, fabrics, and must-have tools, the book offers tips and tricks that those new to the craft will appreciate. Experienced sewists can benefit too from the book’s answers to questions they might have had during other projects. Jewell reminds readers that any body type can look chic and well put together in any style if the pattern is customized to their shape, and she strives to instill confidence in crafters nervous about drafting their own patterns. A welcome addition to sewing technique and pattern books."" * Library Journal * ""Whether you are new to sewing clothes, or simply want to add to your garment-making skills, Made to Measure is the ideal combination of instructional guide and 'how-to' manual for creating an impressive and personalized wardrobe that is specifically tailored to and for you."" * Midwest Book Review *"
