I've gotten a lot of very good feedback about the information on this site - and I sincerely thank everyone who has had comments. It has helped me to make many improvements.
If there's one problem, however, it's that is can be difficult to follow.
It's easy to click from one page to another, all of them filled with great information.

An E-book!
I've converted the entire site into an easy-to-read pattern design e-book.
Organized by chapter, and following a specific series of steps, you'll have no trouble finding the information you're looking for - and staying on track.
"An Introduction to Pattern Design Using the Basic Block" offers 175 pages of basic design and pattern drafting techniques, in a simple, "textbook" format.

Yes!
When you order An Introduction to Pattern Design, I'll include the Glossary of Sewing Terms and Glossary of Design Terms.
You'll be speaking like a pro in no time. You'll understand the difference between piping and binding. You'll know exactly what someone means when they refer to a "besom pocket" or "funnel neck/collar". And - you'll get more ideas for your own designs!
This pattern design book is available in both downloadable pdf format, or on a DVD. Both versions can be printed (but take it to a copy shop - it's 175 pages for the Pattern Design book alone!)
Purchase the Digital/Downloadable version of the 3 e-books.
You'll have instant access to the pdf files (which you can download and print) for the Pattern Design book, and the Glossaries of Sewing Terms and Design Terms.

You'll receive all of the same material as the digital version of the tutorial, but in DVD format. This is the best option if you don't have reliable internet access, or if you want a permanent, physical product. All 3 e-books are included.
