Cashmerette Appleton Dress Sewing Pattern

As a curvy woman, finding the perfect wrap dress can be a challenge. That’s why I was thrilled to discover the Cashmerette Appleton Dress! This pattern is designed to play up your curves in all the right ways, with a crossover front, built-in waist tie, and deep V-neck. What sets this wrap dress apart from the rest is the innovative neckband construction, which prevents gaping across the bust. This is a game changer for those of us who have struggled with ill-fitting wrap dresses in the past.

Another great aspect of this pattern is the expanded size range, now available in sizes 0-16 and 12-32, with C to H cup options for every size. This means that women of all shapes and sizes can enjoy the comfort and style of this classic wrap dress. The recommended fabric is a light to midweight knit, such as jersey or ITY, with at least 50% crosswise stretch.

Overall, I highly recommend the Cashmerette Appleton Dress pattern. It’s a versatile, comfortable, and flattering design that will become a staple in your wardrobe. Whether you’re looking for a comfortable dress for everyday wear or a stunning outfit for a special occasion, this pattern is sure to deliver!

I am just smitten with this felt gingerbread house bag. This would make such a sweet special Christmas accessory for a kid. It’s a free pattern at Benzie Design, designed by Gracie from Hello Gracie Makes. It’s packed with adorable gingerbread house details, like swirls and stripes and scallops adoring the doors and windows.

And while all those details might seem like this would be a complicated pattern, it’s actually not. The bag itself is made from felt, which makes finishes edges unnecessary. (All of those scalloped edges are just cut from felt, no edge finishing required.) The strap is super simple, made from rope with knotted ends. And all those details are made with some basic hand embroidery stitches. Sparkle felt makes it extra cute.

The striped scallop roof is actually the top flap of the bag. A magnetic snap makes it a secure closure. The rope straps are attached through felt loops at the side of the bag.

They rate this project as an intermediate level, and it should take about 6 hours to make start to finish. That’s doable for a Saturday project or a couple of evenings. Full color photos step you through the entire process.

The project includes a shopping list for all of your supplies. They’ve got a shop so you can order all of them from Benzie if you like and get exactly the supplies used in the project. I noticed it includes a pair of scallop shears, which makes cutting all the scalloped edges for the roof and around the door a breeze.

Finished dimensions of the little felt gingerbread bag are approximately 6 ½” wide x 7 ½” tall. That’s the perfect size to hold a small book, a small toy, or a notepad and some cute pens.
