Cashmerette - Chilton Trench Coat - 5101

Chilton Trench Coat This is the very first Cashmerette pattern I made back in 2021. The fit was excellent  on the toile. I have had so much success with Cashmerette patterns since making this coat I have made many of their patterns. Pattern Description:  Classic tailoring gets a curve-friendly update with the Chilton Trench Coat! This timeless fully lined coat pattern features a single-breasted bodice, two hem lengths, belted waist, and a kick pleat on view A. An ideal fit is easily within reach, thanks to sleek princess seams and a comfortable two-part sleeve design. Sophisticated details, such as its two-part collar, cape, epaulettes, and double topstitching, make the Chilton Trench Coat a brilliant addition to any outfit and the star of your wardrobe! Cashmerette patterns have an expansive size range. This pattern starts at size 12 and goes to Size 28. There are cup size options C/D, E/F & G/H. I made view A in size 20 with G/H cup. Fabric Digital print sateen fabric from Spotli

Cashmerette Club - Ashwood Pants - 4202

Cashmerette - Ashwood Pants We've taken the comfort of leggings and added a pinch of polish, and voila! The Ashwood Pants are elegant ponte pants with stylish princess seams and optional front slits, and of course, pockets. The Ashwood is fitted through the waist and hips and flares below the knees, with a yoga-style waistband for the ultimate in waist comfort. A super-speedy sew, you'll be ready to hit the town in your secret pajamas in no time. Pattern Sizing: PDF download only. 0-32, Includes 35-62” hip.  Separate files for both size ranges (0-16 and 12-32) are included.  Recommend fabric Ponte or double knit with approximately 30% stretch across the grain and 10-20% stretch along the grain. I used bengaline from Spotlight which does not have any stretch along the grain. Fit Changes I didn’t make any fit alterations because I assumed they would fit me. That was silly of me really because I just made the Cashmerette Meriam trousers and took out 1.5” from the crotch length. I

Cashmerette Club - Lygon Robe - 7102

Cashmerette Club - Lygon Robe In 2022 sewing.patternreview.com had a pajamas contest. The rules required participants to enter  a two piece (as in a traditional top & bottom PJ), or one piece (such as a nightgown, onsie, sleep pants, etc). As long as they function as sleepwear they will qualify for this contest.    Sleepwear sets, including a bathrobe, are allowed for the contest. Standalone entries of robes were not allowed.   Even though the contest only allowed for up to 3 pieces I made a total of 7 garments but just entered my long PJ's and a robe.  Whether you’re relaxing in front of the TV or stepping out of the bath, you will feel fabulous in the Lygon Robe. Featuring sophisticated French darts, a neckband, cuffs, and belt embellished with channel stitching, and patch pockets trimmed with more channel stitching, this robe is as stylish as it is comfortable. The two lengths and an option for using a contrasting fabric, along with an inner tie for security make this robe p
