Hi,

I've read many 'short' descriptions/explanations on measuring body space with flexible rulers, etc., and using the information to create patterns for better fitting pants. But I need more details and step by step instructions - with pictures

Is there a book or website that takes a person from step 1 to finish line for this method? I really hope there is!

Thanks,
Kathy

Threads magazine issue 122 had a 6 page article by Joyce Murphy that covered this. You can see some of the pics from this article on the Threads site and a readable page on Joyce Murphy's site. Click on the 2nd picture for a larger view.

ETA: that issue is still available from Threads back issues

Threads Magazine had an article in this issue.
I couldn't find a tutorial on their webpage but you may have better luck searching than me or others may point you to another source.

I guess I'm looking for more on combining the crotch curve with the body space. I know Belinda has posted some information, but it would be so nice to see it all in one place.
