Book lust

Today at the costume shop, I got a chance to look through a book, and now I want it. The book was Patternmaking for Fashion Design, and it looks awesome. It has directions for how to draft custom patterns for just about everything you can think of--swimwear, pants, tops, dresses, leotards, and so on. I would love to be able to make patterns that were custom to my body.

The tricky thing is the price tag--at $90, I would want to be super confident of following through before I bought it!
