Sydney is a simple, elegant, cropped smock - the garment you did not know your wardrobe was missing. It drapes gently across the shoulders and can accentuate a plain dress or add modesty to a strapless. With it's wrap-like appearance and flattering hemline, Sydney can make even the most basic shift dress stand out in a crowd.
Make Sydney in a bright silk and wear it over your little black dress for a pop of color. Pick a soft chambray and pair it with a tank dress, such as Adelaide, also from Seamwork issue No. 6. If you need layers, but don't want to commit to a sweater, wear Sydney over your tank top.
Use the techniques for natural fabric dyeing from this month's issue to create a personalized version. Equal part garment and accessory, Sydney is the perfect top layer of any outfit.

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 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 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 Intermediate sewing patterns feature specialty skills and focus on exploring niche sewing. You'll find projects like swimwear, lingerie, bias-cut garments, and lined outerwear.
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.
