The third @cashmerette Club pattern that I made as a collaborator is the #HampdenDress!

It's essentially a sleeved version (plus the neckline has changed a bit) of the Cashmerette Holyoke. I've previously made the Holyoke and knew I'd love this, too.

This dress is ace, and I look forward to wearing it as the weather warms up!

I took the sleeves from the Cashmerette Upton Expansion pack. Note: the armscyes DO NOT line up. To make tie sleeves from the Upon Expansion fit the Hampden I traced out the sleeve pieces from the Upon, overlapped them by a 1/2" and then put them over the sleeve for the Hampden, aligning front and back notches the best I could, and aligning along the bottom edge. I marked all notches according to the Hampden pattern piece (including the notch at the top of the sleeve), then recut the sleeve head on the tie sleeves to match the Hampden.

Pattern: @cashmerette Club #HampdenDress
Size: 26E/F graded to 30 at the waist and hips. I recommend following the Cashmerette blog post on grading princess seams.
Fabric: tencel twill

Let's catch up on roundups with 88 new patterns, shall we?!

The months of February and March were busy (clearly, since I'm just catching up and tomorrow is May...) and designers gave us a ton of new patterns.

Five designers were also added to the Designer Database brining the total number of designers up to 149!

What patterns are catching your eye?

It's a new month so here is the 2nd @cashmerette collaborator pattern I did!

This is the #BrattleTop in size 26, graded to a 30 in the waist and hips. The top is wicked easy to make and the twist instructions are CLEAR. I've made other twist front tops and the finishing was either clunky or the twist assembly required a youtube video and maybe an SOS to get the instructions to make sense. This one didn't even make me bat an eye because the method of assembly is so straight forward.

I haven't had time to make another, but I do plan to lengthen future makes. The front is too short for me/my preferences; I'll probably add 2-3" next time. I do enjoy the neckline finish (a facing instead of a neckband) and how it allows you to get a clean slight boat neck shape.

Full disclosure - as with the skirt in March, I made this shirt up and I'm posting about it (and the May pattern) in exchange for a free year of Cashmerette Club. I look at it as a win-win since it saves me some money. I was already a Club member and was planning to renew anyway.

Wearing my fish shirt at the fish plant today. 🐟

For those that don't know, in my daily life I work in food safety/quality in a smoked fish plant. And, back when I did a sew up of the D&D Sirocco I was paid in a fabric gift card. Which I didn't mind because I used it to get this amazing (in feel/quality, and in print) cotton lawn fish fabric from @harts_fabric.

I made this back in July or so after telling a coworker I had bought the fabric nearly a year ago and then being harassed about when I was going to make something from it for 5ish months. So, thanks to her for forcing me to finally do something with it back then. Since then, it's become a workwear staple, especially when we have visitors!

Pattern: @cashmerette #KersoeTop in size 26E/F graded to a 30 in the waist and hip. See my previous Kersoe for a full cardiganless view of the fit.

Fabric: cotton lawn that sadly requires ironing after ever wash
