Easy and quick vest tops. Made both in one day. The cream and black one first time out in a viscose linen with small side splits at the hem and bias bound armholes and neck. The second one I made in a bright ochre double gauze then remembered double gauze makes extremely poor bias binding so raided my stash for a suitable alternative. Also placed this bias tape around the bottom to balance the top placements. Both were made from a just one metre of fabric x140cm wide. Size 20 G/H. The “patchwork” nature of the pattern enables this. Well designed Cashmerette!

The Springfield Top was such an easy project. I entered my measurements into the Size Calculator and it told me just what size to choose. It suggested that I grade out in my waistline and I got a perfect fit. The directions were very simple and a rookie like me had no problems. I made a wearable muslin out of some crepe material I’d had for years. I’m very proud of my finished garment. This was an easy pattern and I will definitely make it again.

The pattern is simple and fits all the curves. It also provides a nice canvas for experimenting with vertical alterations. Working with this pattern I have learned that even though I am quite short, my torso is very long. So far I have made three versions of the Springfield and in each one I learned how to address a lengthen/size issue. All of them fit better than something I bought at the store, and each attempt brings me closer to my ideal fit. I love the patterns and the workshops. I need to add 2" (vertical) near the shoulder area, lower the bust dart by an additional 1", add length between bustline and waist and between waist and hip.
Batik Butterflies with cap sleeves- 26G; Coral Rayon Challis - 22G/26 waist/28 hips, bust dart lowered 3", waist lowered 2.75", added button to bring in neckline; Still working on version 3 and planning version 4.

I absolutely love this pattern! It is so easy to sew, and I love everything about the fit. I’ve made 3 so far and plan to make even more!

This is a really well drafted woven tank top. The neckline hugs the body, the armseyes cover your bra and the cup size alteration is already done for you! Love the narrow bias facings that finish the neck and armseyes. It may look basic, but is such an essential piece in a wardrobe and you need this top. Under a sweater in winter or with a skirt for summer, this is a beautiful addition to anyone’s closet.

My Springfield is size 20 G/H made from quilting cotton with hand finished satin trim. I love this pattern, and as we are going into Australian Spring I can see myself making many more of this versatile style

I love this pattern! The instructions and pdf pattern are great. The range of cup sizes provided is so helpful. The armholes are very well drafted and do not gape or expose your bra band. The ease gives it a lovely swing feel and there is a good amount of room to move. Making it with French seams and French method bias binding produces a very professional finish on the garment. So satisfying! Even in trickier fabrics this top is straightforward to construct. The completed tank top is very cool and comfortable to wear. My search for a well designed unlined tank top is over! I have already made three ...

What a wonderful staple pattern for any seamstress’ wardrobe. I sewed a 20 graded to 22 at the hips in a G/H and it was perfect without any tinkering at all! I am so grateful for a beautifully drafted pattern that fits my plus size figure so well!

I really enjoyed making this top. It was easy to put together. I have to grade from small, narrow shoulders to a large stomach, but that worked well. I had to do some alterations, but I do those on all my patterns. I made the view A top with linen and a linen blend (for the yoke and band). It turned out well and I enjoyed the fit. Because my fabric frayed too easily I didn’t do the French seams, but most of it can be serged as well. Great summer top! I will be definitely be making more.

This top fits great and come together quickly. Since the top uses so little fabric, I was able to piece together a version from linen scraps (for the summer heat)!

This is my wearable muslin of the Springfield top, a combination of both views, made from a pillowcase and one of my husband's old camping shirts. I've been adding pockets to all my patterns, so this one got a little patch pocket to add some interest and functionality to the front. I love the back design, great to piece from two or more recycled clothing pieces. Easy to cut and sew, a blank canvas for embellishment, a nice fit, I can see this will be great to pop on and go this summer. I'm wearing the Belmont Yoga pants made from Supplex.

I sew the Springfiels top according to the size the site gave me with my measuments.
I had a bit of a trouble figuring out how to go around with the half lining. I also had to give an extra 1/4 of an inch to every seam allowance.
But this top fits me beautifully ; better than any top sow or purchased. The armscye is perfect : high enough, no gaping.
I look fabulous with it…

As a new to sewing beginner, this was a great first garmet to try to make in full. It turned out well, and I am now making my second!

I love this pattern. Cashmerette is the only pattern company that I don’t have to do an FBA for, which made the Springfield a quick and easy sew with a beautiful outcome. I have already picked up fabric for several more of these.

I bought a bunch of Cashmerette patterns. I decided the first pattern I would sew would be the Springfield top because it is a simple woven top with only a few pattern pieces and sleeveless tops rarely fit me in rtw. Gaposis underarm is not a nice look! I was thinking that because my high bust was only 2 “ less than my full bust, a CD bust would be fine. However, upon measuring under the bust vs. full bust (used for bra sizing) it showed I needed a larger cup size. So long story short, I made the next muslin in the next size up cup size, and I had to drop the bust dart down an inch because my apex was lower. For this pattern’s finished View A measurements, I graded the waist up one size and the hip 2 sizes not the 3 I had done on the first muslin. The jury is still out on a narrow shoulder adjustment. I’m going to baste the shoulder seams and do another fitting. Love this pattern! It has helped me tremendously to take the online class on upper body pattern adjustments and to take the time to make these adjustments. Thank you!

I’m excited to have a pattern to use up my smaller bits of yardage that I inherited. I converted the front to princess seams, and I’m looking forward to seeing what other modifications I can try.

This pattern was easy to follow and sews up quickly. It’s easily altered to fit a variety of body shapes and sizes. The finished garment is roomy and forgiving. I did an adjustment to bring down the neckline about an inch, but otherwise, making one of the provided sizes was perfect for me. With fabric choice and provided options for a bottom band and cropped length, this pattern is also versatile, and the finished garment can be fancy or plain. I love it and I’ve already made two shirts on regular rotation in my wardrobe.

This was my first ever piece of clothing I’ve sewn for myself.... very happy with how easy it was to put together, very clear instructions, and great tutorial. I made it in a straight 14 C/D bust, In view A to keep it simple, with quilters cotton, basically it was on the clearance rack, so thought it would be good to try as a muslin. I had two fitting issues, a gaping neckline, but have read and watched Jenny’s tutorial on how to fix this for my next one. And feels a bit tight at the arm holes when I bring my shoulders forward? Not sure if and where I should size up? Looking forward to sewing it in a more Swingy and flowing material next time and feeling pretty proud that I nearly managed get the fit right, and I sewed all the seams with a french seams.

I purchased this pattern as a first garment attempt, and while the first one was wearable, there were some fit issues that Jenny was happy to help with! I cannot get over the availability of help from this company, from the well written instructions, to the sew along tutorials, to the social media presence. I ended up with a custom fit pattern that I used to make several tops that are perfect for layering under cardigans and blazers at the office.

Nice to find a pattern for large cup sizes. This is a bit of a learning curve for me. Sewing for a larger me is challenging. Should have made one from muslin as suggested. I am adjusting the top I am making now. In the past, the neck and armhole facings were wider. Have a little worry about making the skinny ones look good. All in all I think it will be nice.

I made the Springfield after making the Dolman. I really like this top, as it is comfortable in the warm fall weather but will also be wearable as a layering piece when it cools down. I enrolled in the "Pattern Hacks" workshop and the "Fit for Curves" and found both of them to be very helpful. The courses are different but complimentary and the quality of the content is excellent.

I was very happy with the fit of my first Springfield top, I usually have to do a large FBA but was not needed on this pattern, and will be making a few more once I can get out and shop for fabric
