Subtitled ""a complete guide to sewing and altering pants, jeans, overalls, jump-suits, knickers and shorts,"" this offers simple but detailed instructions for selecting fabric and size ranges, taking your measurements and adjusting the pattern, making a trial run with scrap material, then cutting, stitching, and coping with zippers, seams, waistbands, pockets, and flies. If this doesn't result in a perfect fit, you might as well stick with Levis.
