    Good Afternoon Artvani,
    I live in UK and have tried my hand in sewing etc. I need to mend my girls clothing, school uniforms and help them with school projects. I dismantle my old shirts, jackets etc with the hope that soon copy and rid myself from buying dull clothing from the shops. Could you suggest any articles, books etc to help me understand the fundamentals of cutting patterns. I am an engineer and approach the subject similar to designing space shuttle. It would be good to learn a more simple approach .
    Thanks
