SEW THE WARDROBE OF YOUR DREAMS — SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL PATTERNS EVERY SINGLE MONTH

Sewing is meant to be fun— a liberating, creative outlet that’s just for you.
But so often, we struggle to make time for ourselves and the things that bring us joy — or we have difficulty choosing patterns that result in a finished product we love.
Closet Core Crew is our monthly prescription for the sewjo doldrums - appealing and inspiring patterns you will want to sew, a welcoming and nurturing community, and the resources and help you need to sew beautiful, well-fitting clothes that fill you with confidence and pride.

ABOUT THE PATTERNS
Crew offers achievable (but never boring) designs you can make in an afternoon or two. On the first of each month, our professional design team will release a beautifully drafted sewing pattern in sizes 0-32, available exclusively to Crew members.
We are designing clothes you will want to sew and wear, every single day — each pattern is stylish, wearable, seasonal, and thoughtfully constructed.
Along the way, we’ll provide opportunities to dig a bit deeper as we explore more mindful and heirloom approaches to sewing. Whether you have lots of time, or only a few precious hours each month, you’ll have options to integrate sewing in a sustainable and meaningful way into your daily life - so you can benefit from the very real creative, mental, and emotional benefits that come from connecting with yourself and your craft.
Crew is our opportunity to loosen up and have some fun! While we continue to design the more challenging and detail-rich patterns we’ve become known for at Closet Core, Crew gives us the chance every month to explore sewing in a new, fresh way.

THE CREW COMMUNITY
Where craft, creativity and community meet... This is your place to ask questions, share ideas, get fit help, make friends, and dig deeper into creativity, making, and self-sufficiency in all areas of your life.
All members get access to our supportive and encouraging private community. We want to connect with each other in the ways we did before algorithms and big tech took over our feeds, and we are excited to build our own home where we can bond and connect. The Crew Community is a safe and welcoming space where we can share our skills, experiences and knowledge, be honest and vulnerable, celebrate each other’s successes, commiserate over our failures, and build meaningful and lasting relationships that sustain us and our creative practice for the long haul.
How does this work?
On the first day of every month, we will send you a new PDF pattern. Crew patterns are simple to assemble, and are accompanied by easy-to-follow instructions that walk you through garment construction at a glance.
Need more help? Each pattern will be accompanied by helpful articles and videos to walk you through the tricky bits!
Depending on your membership level, you’ll also have access to monthly events. This is your chance to connect with Heather and the Closet Core team, learn advanced fit skills with our monthly fitting sessions, get behind-the-scenes access, and interact with our special guests.
All Crew members get access to our private community where you’ll be able to create a profile, share your in-progress or finished makes, ask for help and support, start conversations, and share your skills and thoughts with new friends.
We offer three membership tiers; you can pay monthly for Crew Essential and Plus, or save 15% by selecting the annual Unlimited plan. Everyone has access to all new patterns starting the month they join.
If you’d like access to previous patterns, select our Unlimited annual pass — this gives you access to our entire back catalog (and other perks!), regardless of when you signed up!

Meet the leader of Crew
My name is Heather, and when I started my blog back in 2011 to document my sewing journey, I never imagined I’d end up here: leading an incredible small team as founder of Closet Core Patterns, and trying to make the fabric industry more sustainable as co-founder at our sister brand, Core Fabrics.
Sewing is funny like that — you think you’re just stitching a few seams together, but in the background there’s all this wonderful stuff happening. For me, that wasn’t just the creative and financial freedom that came from escaping the fast fashion industry - sewing changed my life in so many small and meaningful ways. Teaching myself these timeless skills not only connected me with the countless generations of craftspeople behind me… it connected me with myself. I learned resiliency, self-sufficiency, love and appreciation for my body as it is, and deep, lasting confidence inside and out. Maybe most importantly, sewing provided a creative outlet that not only made me feel more inspired and grounded every day, but genuinely improved my mental health and overall happiness.
In the daily bustle and grind of modern life, it’s all too easy to push our passions and hobbies to the margins. We were inspired to start Crew because all of us - even those of us lucky enough to sew for a living - need a reminder that making time every month for creativity and self-care has real and lasting benefits. Crew is our chance to give sewing pride-of-place in our schedules and routines, in an approachable, inspiring, and achievable way. I hope you’ll join us on this exciting journey to a wardrobe you love, and a sewing practice and community that feeds, nurtures, and fulfills you.
Each month you'll get a new and original sewing pattern in sizes 0-32. Then explore different techniques, skills and details as you bring it to life.
