Hi! Sorry for late reply, I’ve no time for sewing at the moment so I don’t check in that often… Also, I’m sorry but I don’t kow any other good books about pattern construction. I have a copy of a great one that’s in english, but I didn’t think of copying the title of the book… so I dont’ know! However, have you seen this link? http://www.vintagesewing.info/1940s/42-mpd/mpd-toc-short.html
It’s a book from the 40’s, with instructions for making ALL kind of changes and patterns, and often with several methods to reach the same results. It’s simply great! You can get the book at amazon.com (used copies). I want one…
Fun that you like pattern constructon so much too, I got totally entusiatic about it when I got into making my own patterns, it’s like a new world opened up…!
