Beautiful skirt. Mark Everything

Love the diagonal layers on this skirt. I made it in a very lightweight cotton to wear in Hawaii and it was perfect! I can always count on closet core for well drafted patterns and thorough instructions so that was great. I have been sewing for many years and have gotten casual about that and got so lost! I think some of the panels might be upside down but it turned out great. My advice is to mark all the edges and keep the patterns pinned until you sew. Can’t wait to make another one out of slightly heavier fabric

Love this twirly girly dress, and I'm 61!!

I purchased a beautiful large print Kaffe Fasset fabric on our Quilting Tour of the midwest this summer... knowing it wasn't going to be a quilt, but a flowy summer dress. The Azure dress was EXACTLY what I wanted... flowy, twirly, but unexpected and unusual with the assymetric ruffle tiers. Beautifully written and constructed pattern. LOTS of gathering, but I used the "zigzag over dental floss" method and it was super easy. I adore AZURE!

Beautiful and Unique

I love this pattern! The dress takes a LOT of fabric but is totally worth it. I get so many compliments when I wear this dress and can’t wait to try it in another fabric.

Jupe Azure

J’ai adoré coudre ce patron et les explications sont très claires. J’aurais pu faire une taille en-dessous car la jupe est ample. J’ai utilisé la magnifique viscose topaze.

Great deal, great makes so far

I’ve made the Sepia shorts, as well as version A of the Sepia pants (twice). Just make sure to measure the WIDEST part of your hip/seat when choosing a size because the finished width of the waistband has to pull over your butt! Clear instructions, love the grownup rise, nice length on the shorts. Pockets look great and are straightforward to sew: getting a lot of comments on that detail when I wear them. Pocket facings and hem facings on the pants add a nice heft and structure. Gonna make a lot more of these!

Reliability Great Patterns

I always have great luck with Closet Core patterns and the Azure is no exception! Excellent drafting, and clear instructions.

Sepia was very easy to sew, and it looks and feels amazing!

Perfect, Easy to Sew Dress

I panic bought this pattern 3 days before my sister’s wedding because my original outfit plan didn’t work out. It took me ~1.5 days to sew and was honestly super easy! Well written directions. I ended up making a fully lined top and attaching a simple a-line skirt to the inside to line the bottom as well, as the fabric I had chosen was a bit sheer. I’ve gotten tons of compliments on it! The only thing I’d say, is I chose based on the finished garment bust measurement, as I have a pretty large bust and I knew the style was boxy everywhere else, but I didn’t want the dress to be absolutely massive. Glad I chose the size the way I did, it fits perfect with some slight shape through the bust.

Great, nicely written pattern bundle

I have made a pair of th pants, including fitting with a muslin. No adjustments needed for my size. The dress is still a work in progress. I must make a full but adjustment, and I am still fitting the bodice. Love the instructions.

Amazing offer to join crew

I have been thinking about joining Crew for a while so when the offer came up including the new Azure and Sepia bundle I jumped!
I have downloaded a number of the patterns and am planning my makes

What an exceptional bundle!

This bundle is amazing for creating a well constructed and fashionable wardrobe of staple garments you can wear again and again. The well-thought-out finishing of these patterns makes them look high-end, but without the fuss of being overly complicated to construct.

Azure Skirt

I made the short version of the Azure skirt with a rayon Challis. It looks so nice, and the flow is wonderful. It went together well. I did find gathering and matching the notches difficult. It was probably a user error, and next time, I think I’ll divide the panels into fourths and attach them that way.

Sepia Pants

I am very happy with the Sepia pant. I am a 5’10” female with a very rectangular body, flat rear and short waist. I have sewn for decades but pants have been a thorn in my side.

I had to make several modifications before my first pair - nothing that I wouldn’t normally do (shorten the rise quite significantly, size up at the waist, lengthen the legs). They fit quite well!!

For the second pair, I modified again to lower the front rise further and increase the back rise in the centre only. I played a little with the crotch curve as I had excess fabric in the front crotch area (common for me) and the legs were too wide in the thigh area. My second pair were magnificent!! Still a tiny bit of impingement in the back crotch curve. Perhaps the third pair will be the charmed ones!

Overall I love the relaxed fit, silhouette, elastic waist (yes!).
