About Cashmerette
Your wardrobe can change your life—and we're here to prove it.
Cashmerette was born from a simple yet revolutionary idea: Don't change your body to fit your clothes—change your clothes to fit your body.
Since 2015, we've been the leading sewing pattern company specializing in curves, offering sizes 0-32 and cup sizes C-H because we know that great fit isn't just a "nice to have"—it's fundamental.
Our mission is to empower sewists with curves to create clothes they love.
We believe that confidence comes from dressing the way you want and wearing clothes that feel like you. Because when your clothes fit beautifully, everything changes—not just how you look, but how you feel about yourself. We're here to help you reclaim your relationship with fashion and your body.
We're proud to be a plus-size-first company.
Unlike other brands that simply size up, we design every pattern with plus sizes in mind right from the start, because bodies with curves need thoughtful design and grading—not just bigger dimensions. From our signature cup sizes C-H to our size range of 0-32, every Cashmerette pattern is drafted by industry experts who understand that a well-fitting garment can be truly transformative.
This isn't just about sewing patterns—it's about helping you sew with confidence and joy.
From our fitting masterclasses and bestselling books to personal feedback from our expert team and support from our community of 5,000+ sewists around the world, you're supported at every turn. You're never alone in your sewing journey, and we're proving that great fit isn't a luxury reserved for smaller bodies—it's your right, and we're here to help you claim it.
Fashion wasn't made for plus-sized women, women with big boobs, or anyone with curves. That's exactly why we exist.
Welcome to a community that celebrates you.

About Jenny Rushmore
Hi, I'm Jenny! I started Cashmerette back in 2010 as a personal blog because I was so frustrated with never being able to find clothes that fit my plus size, busty body. I documented my attempts to learn to sew clothes that actually fit.
Turns out, a lot of people related! My personal journey became the catalyst for a total career change. I became an early pioneer of the curvy sewing movement, co-founding the Curvy Sewing Collective in 2014 before launching Cashmerette as a business in 2015—the first pattern company designed specifically for curves.
Cashmerette is now a comprehensive sewing education platform with a thriving community of curvy sewists all around the world. Together with my amazing team, I've designed over 100 sewing patterns, written two books, launched Cashmerette Club, and created an extensive library of masterclasses and online classes. If you’re a curvy sewist, this is the place for you!
The most incredible part for me? It’s the deep joy that comes from the messages I receive from sewists who tell me that learning to sew clothes that fit has changed not just their wardrobes, but their lives. That's why this is my passion—because I know how life-changing it can be.
2010: A Sewing Revelation
Jenny takes a sewing class to try to make clothes to fit her body, but quickly discovers that most sewing patterns don’t go up to her (average!) size. Slowly but surely she learns to alter them to fit, and realizes: her body was never the problem, it was the clothes that had to change.
2011: The Blog That Started It All
Jenny starts a blog to document her sewing and body acceptance journey, figuring a few people might relate. Turns out, a lot of people do.
2014: Building a Movement
Jenny co-founds the Curvy Sewing Collective, the first online hub dedicated to plus-size sewists. It becomes a space where curvy makers can connect, share tips, and celebrate that sewing for curves isn't just possible—it can be joyful.
2015: Cashmerette Patterns Are Born
Realizing the sewing industry still isn't catching up, Jenny takes matters into her own hands and launches Cashmerette Patterns. Starting with wrap dresses designed specifically for plus-size bodies and big boobs, the response is overwhelming—curvy sewists are ready for patterns that actually fit. The next few years bring dozens of more patterns!
2021: Ahead of the Curve Becomes a Bestseller
Jenny releases her first book, a body-positive guide to fitting patterns for curvy sewists. It quickly becomes a bestseller, proving there's huge demand for inclusive sewing education.
2022: The Cashmerette Club Launches
Bringing together exclusive patterns, masterclasses, and community all in one place, the Club proves that sewing is way more fun when you can connect with other makers who understand your journey. Soon, there are thousands of members around the world.
2023: Sewing the Curve Breaks New Ground
Jenny's second book hits the shelves—the first book specifically designed to help plus-size beginners learn to sew, without body-shaming or ill-fitting patterns. It's an invitation for plus-size people to explore fashion and body liberation through sewing.
