Good fit on first try!

New to Cashmerette and first time sewing a Cashmerette pattern. Very good fit on toile with with grey heather double knit. Graded size 32 waist / size 28 hip / size 24 thigh. Masterclass on adjustments and grading was sensational. Love the details on this pant. Can't wait to try more Cashmerette patterns.

Easy to hack

I used the Ashwood pattern to make myself some 3/4 Bengaline pants with a basket weave hem detail and some tracksuit pants in stretch velvet. Both versions have been altered from the original design to suit my style. Orange pants are size 18 with the waistband removed and a waist facing added. Track pants are size 22 for a looser fit, shortened crotch length and colour blocking.

Great fit, style and comfort

I've made two pair of tge Ashwood and they will not be the last for certain. I made both the full bell and a scaled down boot cut. I am so impressed with fit and function of these pants. I've worn them to lounge in and to go out to dinner. They look good and fit great. There will be many more if these in the future.

Best pockets ever!

Love these pants so much. I made myself a pair of knit pants a couple of years ago, and they were not nearly as comfortable. Not to mention, these pockets are so deep. I can get my arm down almost to my elbow! No worries about losing things out of my pockets anymore. I will definitely be making many more pairs.

Ashwood Pants

I made the Ashwood pants in two colors. One was a basic black and the other was a coffee brown to match several tops I have made recently. Love the fit! Very comfy to wear but still nice enough to wear to work.

Super confortable

I made a straight legs version using the blog tutorial in size 22. It was so easy to sew! I love how confortable and fitted these pants are. I feel like I am going to work wearing very stylish pajamas next Monday!

Great fit straight up

As a curvy person, sewing pants has always been my biggest headache and an exercise in patient.
The Ashwood was the first Cashmerette pattern I've sewn but it will not be the last!! I made a straight size 22 as a wearable muslin and it fits like a dream without adjustments. Instructions were very thorough and the illustrations were clear.

Great pattern, comfortable and classic

I've made two pairs of these Ashwood. One with the full wide leg, the other more of a boot cut. I love them both. They are my go to for comfort and style. They can be worn casual or the black pair I've worn out to a more dressed up dinner. Such a good pattern.

Ashwood Pants pattern quite good

Since neither I nor my nieces for whom I have been sewing your patterns usually wear pants, I almost didn't download the pattern. But then I thought the girls might want workout pants or something to wear under skirts for warmth so I got it.
Then another curvy friend came to ask if I would repair her workout pants. We ended up "shopping" in my stash and I made her 2 pairs (with the straight legged hack)! My friend's waist is size 20, hips size 16. She has bigger thighs due to being an athlete, so I cut the inside leg seams as size 20, rather than 16 and they ended up perfect for her.
There were 2 illustrations that I think are incorrect (waistband steps 2 and 3 are showing the waistband pieces right sides together, so pieces 6 and 7 should both be white, not shaded). Otherwise, a great pattern.

Good things come eventually

As a teenager in the 70s I would have loved a pair of these flares. Now in my 60s I get to finally have a pair of flares.
The pattern went together very easily and sewing it was a breeze. I used the finished measurements to select the size because the fabric had limited stretch. I didn’t have clear elastic so used left overs from mask making.
Loved the finished result. Would I recommend this pattern? Certainly. Am I wearing my Ashwoods sadly no. The black fabric that I used turned everything it touched purple. Including the table of my new serger! I realised that the fabric, despite washing, would still bleed dye so it is now an unwearable toile. I will be making another pair.

Ashwood Pants

AMAZING! These are my new favorite pants! I have made 3 pair with 5 more in fabric waiting!!! EVERYONE asks me where they can get this pattern, as they fit me so perfectly!! Just did a little alteration in crotch length and that was it! (I did use different sizes for hips and waist, but we knew that going in, doesn't count as an alteration) You need a picture!

Ashwood is an Outstanding Pattern

I was hesitant to make the Ashwood pants ( not sure I wanted to go back to bellbottoms) but I made a promise to myself that I was going to make every one of the Cashmerette Club patterns. Boy was I surprized with the fit ( which is amazing) and the instructions were so easy to follow. Thanks for pants that I didn't know I needed but now love.

Ashwood pants!

My new secret pj's! These are great - took me only one adjustment (i have narrower hips) and I was done. Second pair done too. Now looking for a summer weight knit for the warmer weather.
