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.

    Collarless Shirt Dress

    Add a touch of vintage charm to your wardrobe with the Hill dress. This button-front dress features a high, round neckline, slightly extended shoulders, and an A-line skirt. Waist and shoulder darts on both the front and back bodice offer a flattering, tailored fit and the waist tie provides additional definition. The faced neckline and center front add a polished finish, while in-seam pockets offer practicality. Sew this timeless dress in a floral lawn for the ultimate sundress or make it in linen to let the details and silhouette shine.
