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.

The Chloë Jeans are a celebration of 90s denim. Wide-legged and full-length with a mid-high rise, Chloë blends classic jeans details with a fresh (yet nostalgic) shape and proportions, featuring a contoured waistband with belt loops and traditional jeans pockets in front and back. The Chloë wide leg is created by an angled side panel inserted at the side seams with inseam pockets at the knee.
I recently used the fabric to make a new pair of Lander Pants and they look fantastic! The color bleeds a bit, so be sure to wash a few times before wearing.
Magnifique tissu! J ai été plus qu agréablement surprise en découvrant ma commande. Je n ai malheureusement pas encore eu le temps de le coudre mais hâte d en faire une jolie chemise!
The color and texture of this fabric is dreamy! Normally I give in to the temptation of skipping the muslin step, but in this case all that temptation is gone because I want to have whatever I make with this forever :)
This fabric came with a lot of flaws/dropped stitches and holes in the selvages. I havent seen this before in all my years of buying fabric. In addition to serging the raw edges before prewashing, I also sewed a line of stitching down each selvage to the inside of the flaws prior to prewashing. They did not spread or get worse after washing, and this fabric washed beautifully. I am a little concerned that I may have gotten a bad piece because most of the other reviews are so positive. Hopefully it sews up ok!
