I was teaching myself patternmaking from the website off of Harriet Pepin’s Modern Pattern Design book. I was learning a lot and it was sooo easy to understand until the site was taken down :( I barely got to chapter 3 and i don’t think the site is going to get put up again :( Does anyone else know where i can continue reading this book for free? maybe someone was smart enough to save it as a pdf or something? :(

OH NO!!!!!! I’ve been trying to reach them and no reply. I had checked the godaddy status and they owned the site until 2014. I have chapters 1-4, I’ve found the PDF for $6 bucks and a place you can buy a reproduced copy for $55 Center for Pattern Design .
