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.

One pattern, three very wearable garments! The Travertine Knit Set includes three simple + stylish pieces: our dream tank top, a close-fitting knit dress, and a stretchy pencil skirt. Infinitely layer-able and oh-so-comfortable, mix and match garments from the set in different colours, or with other pieces from the Stone Collection.
View A is a knit tank with a high, narrow neckline. Not quite a racerback, it highlights the shoulder beautifully and can be sewn with an optional supportive lining if you’d like to wear without a bra. Finished with wide knit binding.
View B is a knit dress with a high, narrow neckline and mid-length skirt and back slit. You can add an optional supportive lining if you’d like to wear without a bra. Finished with wide knit binding.
View C is a knit pencil skirt with a back slit and concealed elastic waist.
Midweight stretch knit fabrics with excellent recovery and at least 50% crosswise stretch. We suggest rib and jersey spandex knits in cotton, viscose, and bamboo blends.
The View C skirt can also be made in heavier knits like Ponte or stretch fleece.

Lately I have been viewing the many RTW jackets available instore and online with an envious eye however as I had decided that I wanted several in the colour and cloth of my choosing, sewing my own would be the better option. After perusing the web for a pattern to fulfill that wish I spied the beautiful Jasike Blazer and after seeing the details and construction involved I decided it was definitely the jacket for me. Summer has come to Australia with all it's force now so the sewing part of the Jasike has sadly had to be put on hold while I await the cooler months to fulfill my blazer envy dream
I am really enjoying this class. I like how the construction process is demonstrated and how this process is challenging me to execute the sessions being demonstrated. The results are amazing and look very professional. Just what I was looking for.
I’ve used this pattern so many times, I had to buy a second copy to use when the first got worn out. Actually, I’m using the second copy to trace pieces I’ve misplaced from the first. It’s a wonderful pattern.
