We firmly believe that anyone can sew anything with patience and perseverance, but sometimes it helps to understand how time-consuming or challenging a pattern will be to sew. Here's how we rate the difficulty of our patterns:
Beginner (⭑): Appropriate for a true beginner with simple style lines and details, quick to sew with no closures.
Confident Beginner (⭑⭑): Achievable for beginners who are willing to learn a new skill, may include more design features and techniques (ie. zippers, buttons, facings, etc). Relatively quick to sew.
Intermediate (⭑⭑⭑): More details and style lines, may include interesting details like a zipper fly or topstitching, projects can take 6+ hours to sew.
Advanced (⭑⭑⭑⭑): Still achievable for most sewists, but patterns will include more pieces and more details, and can take 8+ hours to sew.
Challenging(⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑): Complex, skill heavy projects like tailoring and bra-making. Again, achievable for most sewists but be prepared to spend 10+ hours on these types of projects.

Medium to heavyweight woven fabrics such as cotton twill, gabardine, canvas, and denim, or performance outerwear fabrics like ripstop, Goretex and Dintex.
This is a lovely pattern. I have made four, I love it so much. The video is helpful, the pattern is well written and easy to follow along. Thank you Crew!
I recently made the Adriana, I love this 2 piece set. Closet Cores instructions are easy to follow, I always look forward to a CC make. I keep coming back to their patterns because they are on trend and don't feel intimidating even for beginners.
I've just finished the Frank jeans (mid rise, straight leg) and I'm thrilled with the result. I really enjoyed the class and learnt a lot from it. It was very easy to pick up where I'd left off (jeans made over a month or so) and the fact that you left in little mistakes and showed how to fix them rather than pretend they'd never happened was very comforting!! They aren't perfect but are better than if I'd done it on my own. Will definitely follow along for the next pair I make. Thanks!
I got a bit confused initially by the borderless pattern. But I have almost finished the shorts which I intend to use as pyjamas on a forthcoming trip to Madrid. I am going to hem the bottom edge rather than topstitching. I made the pockets out of contrasting fabric (as I don't have much of the intended fabric) and that might have been a mistake as I didn't realise how much would be 'on show' (assuming I have got things right). But I think it will look OK once the waistband is done.
Je suis ravie de ma commande ! 😊 Je suis actuellement en train de réaliser la robe Myosotis et je suis déjà ravie du résultat. Je ne manquerai pas de vous mentionner dans mes publications sur les réseaux sociaux une fois celle-ci terminée. 🥰
