This fourth edition of Metric Pattern Cutting for Childrenrsquo;s Wear and Babywear remains the standard text book but has three majorimprovements. First; the sections have been re-organised to reflect changes in producing and marketing childrenrsquo;s clothes. Todayrsquo;s popularity of easy-fitting styles and knitted fabrics means that basic lsquo;flatrsquo; pattern cutting is used to construct the majority of childrenrsquo;s wear and babywear and this type of cutting is therefore emphasised in this new edition. Shaped blocks and garments; cut to fit the body form; are still included; and are placed in chapters covering some school uniform garments or more expensive fashion or formal clothes. The book now clearly separates the sections useful to student beginners (Parts One; Two and Three); and also offers more advanced or specialist sections for students who wish to pursue a career in childrenrsquo;s wear or for designers working in the different manufacturing sectors of the trade. The second change in this fourth edition is the introduction of colour coding to the sections; this makes it easier to identify specific processes in the book and enhances the illustrations. Finally; the size charts have been revised to reflect the changes in body sizing. The clear division of the boysrsquo; and girlsrsquo; measurements in the charts has been in response to the way clothes are marketed and to co-ordinate with European size charts. lsquo;Plusrsquo; charts for heavier children have also been added.

I wish there were more books like this!By William KounterExcellent analysis of a superb film score from one of my favorite film composers--Danny Elfman. (David Arnold and John Williams are my other favorite composers.)4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Good book; good read; but sorely lacking in score examplesBy Ralph W. Whitfield Jr.This book is a very interesting read. It is full of details about Danny Elfmans history and how he got to where he is today: one of the most ingenious; and recognizable composers of this era.I had hopes of learning more about Elfmans compositional style and method. I had hopes of seeing some of the scores from the "Batman" film in order to study his methods better. That not what I got.There is at best 30 measures of actual music in the book; and of those 30 or so measures they are partial scores that focus on individual individual groups instead of the score as whole.I had hoped to see plenty of score to study. That is not what I got.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
