I used this pattern to make a sunshirt with Polartec Delta. I made the same set of modifications I have for other Cashmerette patterns which worked out very well. I didn't make a muslin because this is a hiking/backpacking shirt and I knew I could get close enough. I lengthened the waist, made a broad shoulder adjustment, and graded between sizes. I did not put in the pocket because a kangaroo pocket is pretty useless when you are wearing a pack. Since Polartec Delta just wants to get sucked into the sewing machine I used my serger even though the instructions say to use a regular machine. It worked out fine. I serged and then coverstitched down the serged seams for a flat, strong, soft seam. I added thumbhole cuffs.
I plan to make another hoodie from this pattern, using cotton fleece and putting in a zipper (and the pockets). The sun shirt was a test run on the pattern. I'm really happy with the fit and won't be making any more adjustments.
I really like this pattern! The way the hoodie is constructed allows for many creative ways to color block and the chance to use small remnants. I made my hoodie the size per the calculator, used the full bicep sleeve, and added 2” to the bodice length (though I think it would be fine as drafted, I was worried it would be too cropped) and 1.5” to sleeve length. Everything fit perfectly, except for the sleeve below the bicep through the elbow. It is very narrow, I can not wear long sleeves under this one. Next time I will add 1-2” to sleeve width where the sleeve pattern piece visibly narrows. Looking forward to making another Stanton!
I made the size 16 exactly like the gray colored block one you have pictured. I did a high round back adjustment and added 2 inches for length in the body. It turned out beautiful and love wearing it. Thank you for such a great pattern.
As a very short, narrow shouldered busty person, the current fashion of boxy fits and dropped shoulders isn’t doing me any favours — everything just looks like it doesn’t fit, and makes me look like a middle aged child if you can imagine such a thing. This pattern is terrific because I can get a relaxed look in a colour I love and wear this as a topper without looking sloppy or childish. I spent a long time on this, but mainly because I wanted to work out a hack to add more/different pockets. I’m happy with the result, but I now know why the pattern has the pockets it does, and I wouldn’t make the pattern my way next time. :) This was also the first item I’ve sewn with a separating zipper, and I’m really happy to have had my hand held through it.
I meant to make a Stanton with just the standup collar and a zipper. The collar was too tall for me so I cut it down in half. The shirt was much too cropped for me so I lengthened the band several inches. I will make it again with my revisions and should be a lot happier with it.
I started with the fabric, a printed stretch velvet that needed a great jacket to show it off. I'm not a hoodie person so where Cashmerette Club released the Stanton Hoodie Expansion pattern with a collar option and full length zip option I knew I had found the right design. My version is a combination of two elements not specifically designed to go together. I teamed my bold print with indigo velvet accents and used the welt pockets from the Cashmerette Club Kimball Bomber jacket instead of the patch pocket in the pattern. Size 18 G.
When the Ashwood pants were released as a Club pattern I used in to made matching track pants.
