The Fearne Sewing Pattern
Every sewing pattern designer or brand might have a different definition as to what defines sewing ability. Here's how I define sewing skill level for each sewing pattern:
-
Beginner
Ideal for complete beginners. These patterns use simple shapes and easy-to-sew woven fabrics like cotton or linen with no fitting required. Techniques may include straight seams, basic hems, inserting elastic, simple edge finishes like zig-zag stitch, no closures, simple square patch pockets.
-
Confident Beginner
For sewists who are comfortable using a sewing machine and following basic instructions. Building on your skills with techniques such as darts, gathering, applying facings or bias binding, simple sleeve styles, sewing simple closures like loops or ties, in-seam pockets, clean seam finishings with an overlocker or flat felled and french seam on straight seams, simple fitting adjustments, sewing visible centred zips, sewing curved seams and simple collars eg. peter pan. Slightly trickier fabrics can be used like viscose, light cotton lawn.
-
Intermediate
For those with a good understanding of garment construction. These patterns may include structured shapes, lapped or invisible zips, buttonholes, pleats, set-in sleeves, manderin or shirt collars, slant/zipped/flap pockets and linings or partial linings. You’ll start learning to adjust the fit and work with a wider range of fabrics, including lightweight or slippery materials.
-
Advanced
For experienced sewists confident in most garment techniques. Expect more complex construction such as fly zips, tailored collars, welt and breast pockets, fully lined or partial bagging-out, detailed seam finishing like hong kong or flat felled and french seams on curves. These patterns may require precise fitting adjustments and working with challenging fabrics or layers.
-
Expert
For highly skilled sewists with a deep understanding of garment construction and fitting. Techniques may include couture finishes, boning, structured tailoring, bound buttonholes, tailored jackets and coats with full structure, lined garments with bagged linings and complex pattern matching. A high level of accuracy and patience is essential.
The one for all seasons.
Ohhh you’re going to have so much fun with Fearne. This size-inclusive sewing pattern lets you mix and match everything… neckline, sleeves, hem length, hem style… and you can sew her in woven or knit fabric. She's basically like pick ’n’ mix of sewing patterns. Want a woven bodice with knitted cuffs and a knit waistband? Go for it.
If you’re newer to sewing, the tie-front version is a dream. It's such a lovely, easy place to start and when you’re ready to level up, the button-front option and the binding sleeve hem give you a little nudge into trickier sewing techniques. And if you’ve been wanting to dip your toes into sewing with knits, this is the pattern to do it with. The relaxed fit takes the pressure off, so you can just enjoy the process.
One of my favourite parts? The “order of sewing” flowchart inside the instructions. It walks you through which steps to take depending on the variation you’ve chosen, so you never feel lost or overwhelmed. You just follow the path, sew your version, and voilà.
Fabric-wise, she works well with fabrics that have plenty of drape. Go soft and breezy with a light cotton lawn for summer, snuggly with a medium-weight jersey for a cardigan-style top, or full glam with a drapey velvet for that classic “jeans and a nice top” vibe. She’s a true year-round, transitional sewing pattern you’ll make over and over again.
