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!
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.
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!
