18 Advanced Sewing Patterns We Dare You to Make

July 17, 2020 by AllFreeSewing

If you’ve been sewing for years, you’re ready to engage with some advanced sewing.

Maybe you’ve become tired of old-hat beginner-level content. After taking a quick look at the incomparable AllFreeSewing, you may put your face in your hands and think, “Another sewing-for-beginners tutorial? How many could they possibly need?” Perhaps you just want to challenge yourself to try a new sewing skill. Or perhaps you want to turn your sewing hobby into a serious career. Whatever you’re looking for from your sewing,  it’s time you had access to a list of projects you have to be dared to make.

It’s time to begin advanced sewing.

18 Patterns We Dare You to Make

In this bold list of intermediate- and advanced-level sewing projects, you’ll find a challenging pattern to fill any need. Sew a challenging neckline for a date night dress that’s equal parts cute and couture. Try out an anti-pickpocket bag pattern to keep your belongings secure while you’re on your next vacation. You can even doll up your home professional-level window treatments that will turn heads at your next dinner party.

Not every sewing project you take on has to be a breeze. As an avid sewist, you’re allowed to seek out higher level challenges and push your sewing skill to new heights. You’ll walk away from these master-level projects a more assured, skilled, and competent sewist, able to take on any tutorial with ease. Scared? A little bit, maybe, but these projects are all feasible—especially if you channel your inner sewing savant! Just follow each pattern’s instructions carefully, and our dare will be a piece of cake!
