Pattern drafting for dressmaking



I have just received this amazing book by Pamela Stringer on how to draft a pattern based on your own measurements. I had a quick read through it and the whole process sounds pretty straightforward. Has anyone ever tried?
It really covers everything you need to know (I think) and it has loads of images to help you understand the various steps. I will start my own pattern drafting after the Christmas holidays (no point taking my measurements now...I'll have to wait after the turkey and puddings of all sorts!) so I will be posting step by step instructions on how to make your own pattern... hopefully it will work. If you have any advice before I start, please let me know!
