The Importance of Patterns in Sewing
In sewing, a pattern is very important because it gives you the initial outline of the dress or any item you are trying to create. Aside from providing you the outline, patterns also give you an idea how much fabric you need and the ideal kind of the fabric for the project.
Seasoned experts agree that in order to get the right patterns for sewing, the sewer must first decide what kind of item he or she wishes to make and then the list of measurements needed. Compared to tablemats or curtains, patterns are more valuable when it comes to clothing because of the "wear ability" of the clothes will depend on the patterns chosen.
Romina Abrigo Editor of the "Sewing Machines For Sale" website -- http://www.SewingMachinesForsale.me -- pointed out;
"…A specific pattern for clothing will greatly depend on who is going to wear it. Today, because more and more people are into sewing, there are many sources of patterns available. You can get them from craft stores or specialty sewing stores where you bought the materials like fabric, thread, and the like for your project. Aside from buying these patterns at stores, you can also get it from various magazines that feature basic sewing or in online sewing sites…" Added Romina Abrigo
When it comes to patterns in clothing, always consider the standard measurements used by the sewing industry to be able to get accurate results. It is advisable to make use of the measurement charts that can be found in various pattern books because these are based on the standard measurements used by almost all sewers.
The major considerations when it comes to sewing patterns are the accurate measurements of the person's bust/chest, waist, hips, and back length for blouses and tops and the measurements of the crotch area, butt area, and leg length for skirts and pants.
When taking measurements from these key body parts, always make sure that they are taken with undergarments on using a tape measure that is held just enough to get the correct size and adjustments. It is always best if two people will work on taking these measurements so lesser errors will be committed. If you are the one who is taking the measurements, ask the person to stand up in his or her usual posture to get accurate clothing measurements.
When taking bust or chest measurements, place the tape measure around the person's body just across the chest or breasts and slide it under his or her arms across the back. For the waist, always get the person's natural waistline by placing a string around the waist before using the tape measure. While the measurement of the hips is usually taken below the waist, the back length's measurement is taken from the bone that is most prominent in the back of the person's neck.
"…Once you get all the measurements correctly, you can proceed to using the right pattern for the person who will wear the clothes and you may proceed to the sewing process…" Added Romina Abrigo

What is a good book to learn how to make a pattern block made to my own measurements?
A pattern block is like a template for all other patterns, in sewing and dressmaking. It has no features or seam allowances added. They're usually cut out of cardboard.
What kind of pattern block? What material are you using? What is it's application? More info is needed to answer this question.
