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.

    The Smock Dress Sewing Pattern

    Meet the Baker dress, a charming addition to your wardrobe. This smock dress features unexpected details and opportunities for color blocking, perfect for your favorite lightweight, flowy woven fabrics.

    Baker has a flowing silhouette with a notch neckline adorned with a tie. The lined yoke finishes just below the bust at the front. Delicate gathers below the yoke on both the front and back center panels follow a gentle A-line silhouette. Princess seams add structure and shape, and the pouf sleeves feature an elastic casing that finishes just above the elbow, giving a playful and feminine touch.
