1. The Debra Skirt by Julia Claridge for Sew Mag
A midi skirt is a great foundation piece to sew, and this asymmetric wrap skirt sewing pattern from Sew Mag elevates what would otherwise be quite a basic piece. This chic skirt features an asymmetric hem and a D-ring closure for your wrap tie. The original skirt is made in denim, but I personally would like to sew this in breezy linen fabric with a bamboo ring. This sewing pattern is ideal for both casual and dressy occasions, depending on what you pair it with.

2. The Etty Camisole by Tammy Handmade
The Etty Camisole sewing pattern is an elevated basic that can easily transition from casual to more formal settings. The scalloped neckline provides visual interest while the camisole's relaxed silhouette offers ease and comfort. I love this pattern; it's certainly a versatile layering piece. Check out the #ettycamisole on Instagram to see all the lovely camisoles that sewists made.

5. Lekala Classical Blouse
The Lekala classical blouse is a less well-known sewing pattern. This simple darted shirt blouse is a great addition to your capsule wardrobe collection for layering purposes. Lekala patterns are unique in that they are parametric, meaning they use your measurements to generate a made-to-measure sewing pattern. The link below will take you to a page that will ask for a few of your measurements. Once you input those and check out for free, a pattern will be sent to you after several minutes. Check out photos of what other sewists made using this pattern over on Lekala.
