Last year I made my first piece of clothing; the Lotta Dress from Tilly and the Buttons. Creating this dress was a huge learning curve for me but was also such a wonderful experience. As I gain more confidence and try new techniques, I've been looking for sewing patterns that will help me to grow in my garment making skills. These are the sewing patterns that I would love to add to my collection to help me create a handmade wardrobe. 
Tilly and the Buttons Samara Top
I love the simplicity of this top, it could be made with a plain or patterned fabric depending on the style you are looking for. The v-neck is a style that I haven't made before so it would be a great skill to learn.

Friday Pattern Company Sagebrush Top
I've heard so many wonderful things about the patterns from Friday Pattern Company, and would love to try their patterns soon. The ruffle details on the Sagebrush top are so beautiful and though I have altered a top to add ruffle sleeves, I've never sewn ruffle details onto the front of a project or garment.

Fabric Godmother Fleur Dress and Blouse
Fabric Godmother stock beautiful fabrics and gorgeous sewing patterns. The bow tie detail on the front of Fleur is so pretty, and I love that there are so many variations available in this pattern.

Silversaga Patterns Clara Dress
I love cottage-core style dresses, and the Clara Dress is exactly this. I think this dress would look beautiful in a soft linen fabric, and it would be an opportunity to learn about creating multiple channels for elastic.

Nina Lee Holland Park Dress and Top
Another pattern that is perfect for those who love cottage core style. The Holland Park pattern has beautiful variations for dresses and tops, and would be another opportunity to learn how to make multiple channels for elastic.
