I started using (Closet) Core patterns years ago, and joined CREW a few years ago without looking back or ever questioning my decision. The patterns alone are worth the cost of membership. I'm an intermediate sewist and always learn new techniques or "cleaner" techniques when using these patterns. The styles are great and usually offer options which make them work for many styles. The directions are very clearly written, and again, I love the thought behind the details in patterns. Also love watching YouTube videos on thought behind designs. Video tutorials very helpful. Not a huge community participant, but would like to work on this in the upcoming year. Highly recommend. Also love their fabrics, so the extra discount is further incentive.
