Pattern Difficulty Rating In order to make it clearer for the seamstress how easy or difficult a particular pattern is, I rate each pattern using the following letters. B indicates a relatively simple pattern perfect for a beginner. B+ is suitable for someone who has had experience and knows basic sewing and is in between beginner and intermediate in skill level. I means Intermediate, meaning a pattern that is more complecated and good for a sewer that is past baisc sewing and knows how to make changes to a pattern, etc. A indicates an Advanced pattern good for a sewer who has had lots of sewing experience and knows how to solve problems and work with minimal instructions.Of course this doesn't mean if your a beginner or advanced that you have to stick to your specifc category! I encourage you to try new patterns and maybe find a new skill or two in the process. Happy sewing! Artwork is October (1877) by James Tissot, courtesy of CGFA. |
