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 Finn shirt gives you a fun opportunity to play with your style and sew up a total wardrobe staple. Use the raglan sleeves to show off contrasting fabrics or a fun print from your stash.
Finn is semi-fitted throughout with two sleeve options. Version 1 has three-quarter length sleeves, and Version 2 has short sleeves. Sew Finn in knits with 4-way stretch and at least 50% stretch, like cotton or rayon jersey, merino, rib knits, and French Terry.
Jamie is wearing a size 16 Finn shirt graded to a 14 at the bust with 3/4” added to the bicep and sleeve length and 1 1/2” to the long sleeve opening and 2” to the short sleeve opening. Her measurements are 41”, 34”, 46 1/2” and she is 5’10 1/2”.
Our Misses patterns are drafted for a C cup and our Curvy patterns are drafted for DD. Both are drafted for a height of 5'8" (172 cm).
We want to help you achieve the best fit possible so you can sew garments you truly love. Our fit guides are designed to help you better understand the fit and details of each pattern. Use fit guides in conjunction with the finished measurement chart to better understand the ease and intended fit of each pattern.
