Basic Fashion Design: Sewing Techniques

This book introduces the essential construction skills needed to turn a two-dimensional fashion design into a three-dimensional garment. It focuses on the practical foundations of sewing, including the equipment required, fabric types, the main parts of a sewing machine, and how the machine operates. The work is positioned as a basics text for fashion and costume study, making sewing techniques a core part of the design process rather than an isolated technical skill. Available catalog records identify it as an English-language title published by Bloomsbury Visual Arts, with Jennifer Prendergast as contributor/author and 184 pages. The book is presented as a guide for developing competence in construction methods that support garment realization, which makes it relevant to students and practitioners who need a structured introduction to sewing processes. The title’s cataloging also indicates a 2023 publication date, and it is listed in fashion and costume design resources, reinforcing its use as an educational text in design and construction contexts.
