Reversible double layers of silk that overlap and create a pointed hem line. Elastic waist for easy on/off. Finished with a satin rose on both sides. Light and airy, these feel wonderful on the skin. Our silks are hand-hemmed in a small village near Shanghai which we have visited. The seamstresses are in their homes, often sitting in doorways, as their children play nearby. In addition, many of our products are sewn, ironed and packaged by women working in their homes in Sonoma County, CA. Our dyes are non-toxic and the silks are easily hand-washed. At Sarahs Silks, we are dedicated to helping create a better world through imaginative play. We believe that simple, open-ended toys are best for growing minds. Developing inner creativity at a young age leads to higher levels of creative thinking in adulthood. When childrens inner creative life is nurtured, they grow into more well-rounded, stronger, and creative contributing members of our society, eager to bring their gifts to the world. We are dedicated to simple, unique and beautiful toys for all of the children of the world. Through our work, we are reminded of the infinite possibilities of play.

Originally published in 1937, this rare book was written from two aspects of pattern making -- creating your own drawn to measure patterns and adjusting commercial patterns to fit the differences in your body versus "stock size" patterns.

Drawn to measure patterns use your own body measurements and allow for individual irregularities to be accounted for when making garments. To begin, the author has you measure your body. You then learn the fundamental principles of pattern making by making simple garments with simple modifications -- perfect for beginning pattern makers and sewers. You'll start out with simple patterns including: scarf, cravat, dressing wraps, nightgown with loose sleeve bands, sunbathing top, simple brassiere, french knickers, circular collar and matching circular cuffs, flared jabot.

The remaining chapters teach you how to create specific types of foundation patterns -- magyar, bodice, dressing gown, one piece, knicker, petticoat and skirt -- with which all other garments throughout the book are created. Using these foundation patterns as a base, you can create many different garments from one foundation pattern, combine different foundation patterns to make even more garments and use your newly learned drafting skills to create your own designs.

For adjusting commercial patterns, the author explains in detail and with diagrams how to lengthen and shorten patterns by simply adding/removing paper, making a dart-like pleat to adjust shoulder lines, and how to adjust the neck of a pattern. Testing paper patterns (by trying them on), preparing material for cutting, folding material for cutting, and planning out the pattern are also covered in detail.

Over 70 garments can be made using this book and even more using your own combinations with the foundation patterns. Sample pattern images are shown at the top of this page.
