Pattern Drafting With Gillian Gia

At my core, I am a lover of all things fashion and design. You can say I will "sleep, eat and drink" fashion and design. My appetite for it is insatiable, because I can reinvent, express, create and stand out from everyone else, in something that I have created. Then there's this little fact that a visit to a fabric store for me is akin to a romantic dinner at a gourmet restaurant - it's an absolute experience being able to see and touch the various fabrics and textures, and take my time perusing appliques and buttons. For the past three-and-a-half decades I have sought to introduce and share my love for this artform and medium with others through my sewing classes. As a classically trained fashion designer, year-after-year, I have worked to make these classes as simple as possible for my clients. As I simplified, I started thinking about writing a book that my clients can avail themselves of as an addition to my sewing classes that would also serve to make this process as seamless as possible for them. After many years - and I say many years because it literally took years of putting my thoughts to paper because I took my time in writing this book to ensure that it was done right - "Pattern Drafting" with Gillian Gia is a reality. This first edition, of which I am really proud and can be referred to as "a bible for sewing" will work in tandem with clients that take my sewing classes, and who will be able to refer to it for years to come and use it as a reference point as they continue to delve into the world that I love. The first edition can also be purchased separately. And it's all for the love of fashion, and the love of design!
