Skill Level: Advanced

Skill Level Guide

We created our skill levels according to the techniques required to sew each pattern, but our patterns will teach you everything so don't be afraid to sew above your skill level!

Beginner

Beginner sewing patterns teach the most foundational sewing techniques. These patterns focus on the basics like sewing and finishing straight and curved seams, hemming, and simple shaping methods such as darts and gathers. In addition, beginner patterns omit closures, making them perfect if you are new to sewing or are looking for a quick and easy make.

Advanced Beginner

Advanced Beginner sewing patterns expand on the skills learned at the beginner level, helping you to build confidence and range as a sewer. You'll find simple knitwear projects, bias tape finishing techniques, and begin to explore closures at this skill level.

Intermediate

Intermediate level sewing patterns focus on more precision sewing. In this skill level, you'll learn specialty closures. Intermediate patterns also introduce the skills needed for simple lingerie and athletic wear projects.

Advanced

Advanced sewing patterns require great precision and time investment. You'll find tailored pieces in this category with elevated details like bound buttonholes and welt pockets.

Description

The gender expansive chore coat

Parker is a chore coat designed for those who appreciate practicality and style. It has a gender-neutral fit, with a straight cut through the body and distinctive two-piece raglan sleeves. For unrestricted movement, it features subtle shoulder darts and a center-back box pleat with a release at the mid-back.

You’ll learn how to sew thoughtful details with this coat. It has a cuff adorned with a denim jacket-style placket, a stand collar, and an oversized front placket secured with heavy-duty snaps. And you’ll have plenty of pockets! It has lower pockets spanning the placket to the side seam, two chest patch pockets, and an interior patch pocket.

This pattern has a sewalong. You can find it here.
