I've now sewn up the original Stanton Hoodie in a fur backed sweatshirt fleece and just recently the dress version from the expansion pack in a French Terry and both times I've been so happy with the results! The pattern, although it has lots of pieces to cut out, which could seem a bit daunting at first, goes together really well and is not complicated at all. The instructions are fantastic - detailed and easy to understand. Now to just complete my Stanton collection with the half zip top version!

This is my second hoodie - the first one was a sunshirt, this is a more standard sweatshirt. It's super cute and I'm really happy with it. The instructions were excellent.

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 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.

I made a colour blocked 1/2 zip with the collared neckline. Instructions were beautifully written and easy to follow, and I tried a new technique doing the welted seam finish. My first attempt was wearable, the only thing I’d do differently is extend the length slightly as it’s a bit cropped.

My Stanton Hoodie started out as a muslin from 3 separate remnants from a local fabric store,Vogue Fabrics. After a fierce game of pattern tetris I managed to lay it out completely on grain. I sewed it up and am overjoyed with the results!!! It fits great and is super cozy. I’m sure I’m going to be wearing it a lot! I recommend you put this pattern at the top of your list🧵🪡📍

Perfect fit. Made the Stanton in size 18 cup g/h. Only had to adjust the length.

Installing the zipper can be confusing and I still haven’t figured it out for certain. I cannot figure out why the pattern calls for a 26” zipper when the jacket will use 22” at best. This through me for a loop. Additionally if you are still not perfect with your seam allowances, (like me) your seams will not line up. And since I flat welted all my seams I cannot take the jacket apart to re-sew them. Fortunately I have enough fabric to start over.

I think the instructions could be clearer and more detailed/pictures in the I stalling the zipper section.

This jacket has been a test of my novice abilities, however by doing so, it has taught me new skills, and a new level of patience.

Haven’t re-started the project and it’s a gift for my mother.

Great instructions went together easily. Replaced hood with narrow band and lengthened body by one inch. No pocket. Comfortable fit made entirely from French terry left overs so economical. Very pleased. Will make again.

I love the fit of the pattern and also, the design is cool. As always, the instructions are easy to follow and to understand for a french canadian like me.

I am somewhat petite yet curvy. Sweatshirts were either huge on me or tight across the bust. I’m also 5’2” so the hem/ribbing never ended where they should. I made a few changes to the Stanton hoodie, but they were easy to make and, as a result, fit like a dream. I also used very nice fabric so they are beautiful as well - too nice to just wear at home. I am always getting compliments on them. I copied some RTW ideas, e.g., putting a bias self-fabric around the neck seam. Love, love, love this pattern!

I loved sewing the pattern; the details and finishing are top-notch. The booklet is of excellent quality and full of valuable details for sewing, such as the video tutorial.

I have not sewn it yet but I have examined the pattern and looked at measurements. It should fit with minimal adjustments so it is next on my “to do” table !! Thank you Cashmerette 👏

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 purchased the pattern to make for a friends daughter. I love the details in the styling and it was a fun make. My friend loves her Stanton Christmas hoodie. I plan to reprint a size closer to my measurements and make one for myself. Can't wait! And thanks to Whitney @Tomkat stitchers for raving about the pattern. 🥰. Didn't get a good picture of it.

I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PATTERN. I MADE THE HOODIE AND THE LONG VERSION AND I LIKE THE FIT.

I made the Stanton Expansion sweatshirt dress. It came out adorably. I am an advanced beginner and I will say the pattern was not the easiest to follow (the pictures could've been clearer). Also, the AO file doesn't label which pieces need to be mirror images, which would've been helpful when cutting using my projector. The sleeves are a little short (and I'm only 5'3"), but I'm not sure if that's my fault or the pattern's. All in all, it was a labor of love but it came out beautifully. Looking forward to wearing my new sweatshirt dress while sewing?

I’ve made the Stanton hoodie and it fits me perfectly. I was planning on trying to hack a collar for it. I was so happy to have the expansion pack with a collar and dress. I have the fabric to make my sweatshirt dress. I will be making it soon.

I loved making this jacket. The instructions and construction went together a dream. The only downside for me was that the ease in the sleeves was too tight to wear over a tee shirt. It feels a bit snug all around. I made the size suggested by my measurements, but I guess I prefer more ease in a hoodie. I will make this again in the size up. Love the pattern
