Sandra sent me some wonderful links from a site with pattern puzzles for the download. The site is ShowStudio and it’s fabulous so look around a bit. The pattern below is by John Galliano and donated free for the download by the noted couturier. Here, you can download Galliano’s pattern.

But wait, there’s more. I found three other patterns in their projects section complete with photos of finished garments from ShowStudio’s adventurous visitors. Here, you can find a pattern donated by Alexander McQueen.
Then there’s a style by Martin Margiela, entitled “Unfinished”. Be that as it may, plenty of people have finished their garments as you’ll see.
This is a fascinating site; I’ve had lots of fun working my way through it (there’s still lots to go), but I especially wanted to recommend the interview with Vivienne Westwood; she’s forthright, matter of fact and to the point, rather like Kathleen. hmmmm.
Often described as the garment industry “blue book”, the most highly rated book in the business is guaranteed to get you off to a solid start or your money back. Many service providers require you read this before they’ll work with you. Learn more »
