What are the clothing and fashion construction books you guys like the most? This includes basics, draping, sketching, patternmaking, etc.
This thread is pretty selfish since I've been promising myself I'd start learning this stuff for a couple years but haven't gotten around to it. I ask that when you make book suggestions assume the audience has no experience. If you're suggesting an advanced book explain what level of experience is expected. I'm aware a lot of this stuff is experiential (e.g.s: deconstruct your own stuff and learn; take a class), but personally I work best with some sort of structure and I don't have classes available nearby.
Along with books, please post simple projects you know of. I've heard some simple stuff is tapering your own jeans, slimming down shirts, etc. Feel free to post your advice to beginners, too.
