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.

A unique spin on a classic t-shirt, the Alabaster knit top celebrates the drama of assymetry. A semi-fitted tee with short sleeves featuring a deep opening along one hip that draws to a mitered point along the hem, Alabaster is shaped with a center back seam and classic crew neckline.
View A is a knee-length tunic. This version is striking when layered over pants and midi-length skirts, and functions like a casual dress when paired with close-fitting bike shorts.
View B is hip length with a shorter hip opening, and is a fun alternative to a classic crew neck tee.
This pattern can be made in a variety of knit fabrics with at least 30% crosswise stretch. For a more structured look, choose 100% cotton interlock and jersey. For a drapier effect, choose cotton/spandex blends, ribbed or rayon knits.
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.
