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.

Lex

The Lex sweatshirt is a quick, cozy project that will boost your mood while you sew it and when you wear it. It has an oversized fit, dropped shoulders, and a kangaroo pocket with a binding at the openings. Have fun with fabric for this sweatshirt! For the contrast fabric, look for clashing colors or coordinating ribbing.

This pattern pairs well with so many bottoms in the Seamwork catalog, like the Mel joggers, Witt pants, Tessa jeans, and leggings like Shelly or Tino. So when you finish making this sweatshirt, why not sew a matching set?
