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.

Lilliana's Member Exclusive is exceptionally fashion forward. This version offers an asymmetrical front closure, a bottom front panel with hidden pockets, and a button closure.
When worn open, the front pieces look like large lapels, which add an edge to your outfit. Like the original Lilliana, this simple, straightforward design provides you with options for experimenting with bold fabrics and trims, without having to worry about technical details or intricate pattern matching.
We suggest using an interesting textured woven coating fabric, such as a tweed, jaquard, or bucle. You can experiment with a complementary colored bias binding, or simply staystitch the raw edge and let the fabric fray for a unique detailing.
The Quince day robe comes with two versions—a duster and a jacket—plus optional details that can be mixed and matched to create 16 variations from one pattern.
