Skill Level Guide

We created our skill levels according to the techniques required to sew each pattern, but our patterns will teach you everything so don't be afraid to sew above your skill level!

Beginner

Beginner sewing patterns teach the most foundational sewing techniques. These patterns focus on the basics like sewing and finishing straight and curved seams, hemming, and simple shaping methods such as darts and gathers. In addition, beginner patterns omit closures, making them perfect if you are new to sewing or are looking for a quick and easy make.

Advanced Beginner

Advanced Beginner sewing patterns expand on the skills learned at the beginner level, helping you to build confidence and range as a sewer. You'll find simple knitwear projects, bias tape finishing techniques, and begin to explore closures at this skill level.

Intermediate

Intermediate level sewing patterns focus on more precision sewing. In this skill level, you'll learn specialty closures. Intermediate patterns also introduce the skills needed for simple lingerie and athletic wear projects.

Advanced

Advanced sewing patterns require great precision and time investment. You'll find tailored pieces in this category with elevated details like bound buttonholes and welt pockets.

  • Description

    The Max pants are so fun to make, with a versatile design that you can sew over and over in different fabrics. They have a breezy tapered silhouette with inseam and patch pockets. The elastic waist back gives you a streamlined look from the front with a flexible, comfortable fit at the back.

    These pants are designed to complement the Katiusca tank. Sew up both patterns in linen for a coordinating me-made outfit that will never go out of style.

    If tapered pants aren't your style, check out the member bonus. for the Max pants, which adds a wide-legged option.
