NIce elegant t shirt

Love the square neckline. easy mitered corners. looks great on!

Dharia McGrew
such wonderful detailed instructions

as always, the Cashmerette pattern does a great job of walking you through a fiddly neckline with enough detail and technical guidance to make it manageable. I got a great shirt on the first try!

Smart looking top

I enjoyed making this top in a French Terry. The square neck gives it ‘the edge’ and I particularly love the uff sleeves, I added a lettuce edge to the cuff frill. I cut a size 20 in the shoulder area then 24 bust, grading out to 26 hip, and it fits beautifully!

Pamela DeDeaux
This is gorgeous!

I just finished my first Carlyle and I love it! The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the fit is amazing! I will definitely be making more!

Carlyle Tee Shirt

What an amazing top. I love everything about it, from the gorgeous square neck to the perfect fit which I have come to expect from all Cashmerette patterns. I made the short, regular sleeve. My next make will be with the long puffed sleeve.

It’s great!

This tee shirt is very flattering and is making a good staple in my wardrobe. I’ve made two, and my second one looks better than the first one, I shortened the 3/4 sleeve to just above the elbow. I haven’t made the gathered sleeve yet. Very pleased.
Thanks for such a great service you provide for me to have clothes that fit and look nice and stylish 🥰

Fabulous Tee

My very favorite T-shirt pattern is the Concord, so the Carlyle is great for an optional neckline change as well as the lovely sleeve option.

Great pattern. Better than I'd hoped

I made this up thinking I was not sure about the square neckline or the gathered sleeves. Imagine my surprise at loving this shirt. It is still a knit shirt but the style elevates it from "just a T shirt." I used a medium weight cotton knit which worked very well. The instructions were top notch as always but I still had some difficulty with the corners of the neckline and even ended up with a tiny hole. Really tiny, like I stuck it with a #16 machine needle. I do not think it will ever be visible to anyone or grow but if it does I will just add some embroidered detail to the corner. Thanks for a great pattern.

Amazing neckline

The square neck is so flattering and comes out looking professional every time! Elevates a plain t-shirt to something special. The instructions are very clear.

Sharon Host
Carlyle T-shirt

I love the pattern and the square neck is really flattering. I am having a little diffiulty with best fabric to use. I used a jersey knit for my toile which was too loose, not enough structure to hold the square neck. I switched to a ponte and it worked great.

Carlyle T-shirt

Made a straight size 14 as a wearable toile, there were clear instructions, love the mitred neckline!

Another great make

I’ve made two of the Carlyle tees so far, but I know there’s going to be many more in my wardrobe. It’s a fabulous pattern with the easy to follow instructions I love about Cashmerette patterns. The neckline is simple but looks amazing - even my Father-in-law complimented it - praise indeed!! The puffed sleeve version feels a bit more dressy, but I’m a fan of the straight sleeve I think; whichever you choose they’re straightforward to insert. All in all, another Cashmerette winner!

K
Kirsty Evitt
Great ‘elevated’ basic

The Carlyle gives you a t-shirt with just a little bit more. The mitred square neckline is easy to construct following the clear instructions, and when combines with the puffed sleeve makes a comfortable t-shirt seem fancy. It is a reasonably quick sew, and as always Cashmerette makes sewing for a G-cup painless.

Well fitting wardrobe staple

This simple pattern produced a well fitting t shirt that actually fits my girls. A classic well fitting wardrobe staple.

Melanie Gathergood

Lovely, elegant looking t-shirt. The back comes up a bit too high on me-high round back already factored into the pattern? I've already made 3 and get lots of positive comments when I wear them.

Great square neck!

Loved the fit, the instructions and the overall look. Not a surprise, since I just love all Cashmerette patterns.

Great alternative to basic T Shirt

This was an excellent project. I loved how it came together quickly. I have already made 2 and I wear them all the time . Thanks Jenny for another great pattern
