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!

It doesn’t matter whether you sew by hand or by machine, you need a pincushion. You need a spot to parks pins and needles and keep them within easy reach for when you need them again. There are a lot of styles of pincushion to choose from. Some magnetic, some fabric. Some cute, some purely functional. This “little bit extra” pincushion has a spot to store all the different types of pins and needles you might need while sewing. Polka Dot Chair has a free sewing pattern you can use to make one for yourself.

This handy little pincushion has a circular shape and is divided into sections to store different types of pins. The bottom section is for your regular straight pins. Just poke them in and they’re ready for when you need them. The top has one section with a felt flap perfect for holding your sewing needles. I don’t know about you but I don’t like mixing my hand sewing needles in with my pins on a pincushion. It makes it hard to find the needle when I want it. So having a separate section for the needles is a great idea.

This “little bit extra” pincushion also has a spot to hold a few fabric clips. Fabric clips have become popular alternatives to a traditional straight pin. They hold fabric pieces together without piercing the fabric, which is important when sewing leather, vinyl, or other materials that will show permanent holes from pins.

You can sew the “little bit extra” pincushion from large fabric scraps or small fabric cuts (fat eighth). You probably already have all the supplies you need to sew one in your sewing supplies already.
