Disclaimer: I am a pattern tester for Cashmerette and received this pattern for free. All my opinions are my own. I’m also under no obligation as a tester to post a review to my blog. If you’ve been following along for a while, you know I’ve been on the hunt for tops patterns that work … More Cashmerette’s Concord T-Shirt
When you are fat, all those suggestions for using smaller bits of fabric don’t really work the same way. You need far more fabric than people in smaller sizes so when you are looking up “what to make with less than a yard of fabric?” on google, the suggestions are a bit disheartening and frustrating … More Scrapbusting with the Concord T shirt
Earlier this week, Cashmerette released the Springfield top. I was a tester for the pattern. It came at the exact time I needed it. I was on the look out for a tank top pattern for wovens. My issue with most woven tank top patterns is that they don’t go up to my size. The … More Cashmerette Springfield Top (and some Concords)
Disclaimer: I received this pattern for free in exchange for testing, but my opinions can’t be bought by patterns alone. I require cheese (preferably lactose free) and probably a good amount of tequila and cold hard cash. Feel free to send me that. I tested the Cashmerette Holyoke dress ages ago and then left it unhemmed … More Cashmerette Holyoke Dress
I cut out this top LAST YEAR. Not even like in December. It was shortly after I made the tropical M7624 which Miss Bossy, you, voted for making. I said I would make the Pippa dress, however, turns out that I didn’t have enough fabric for a dress so instead I made a top. A … More Designer Stitch Pippa Wrap top
As soon as I saw the Seamwork Brit and the bonus variation, I knew I had to have it. Although, I wasn’t interested in making the dress. I have been lusting after a top with a ruffle detail for ages. I was actually going to design one myself using the Cashmerette Concord t-shirt pattern but … More Seamwork Brit
Recently, I made two pieces for two different costumes. I will eventually share those costumes with you, but I decided to share the two pieces together. It looks a bit like an outfit worn by a member of the Newsies cast. I just need suspenders and a pageboy hat. Now if only I could … More Pageboy Outfit Plus a Cashmerette Harrison
First off, thank you for the wonderful comments and messages on all my social media formats on my last post. Your support means so much to me and helps life me up on bad days. I cannot thank you enough for both reading my posts on chronic illness and responding to them. Even a “like” … More Pattern Hacking Smorgasbord
For the final challenge for Indie Pattern Month at the Monthly Stitch, I shared 8 garments that I made in July! The challenge was called Indie Royalty and involved making 2 or more garments. I guess I am just an over-achiever. Originally, I planned to make two for the other challenges but I never got … More An Accidental Capsule Wardrobe
It was a long weekend in Toronto this past weekend and that meant I got some sewing in! I made two dresses that are perfect for the summer! The first one is a lengthened version of Cashmerette’s Concord t-shirt. Jenny posted a tutorial on making the top into a dress and I couldn’t resist after … More Jellyfish and Flamingos!
