Cashmerette Springfield

April 15, 2017

I made my first Cashmerette Springfield! It came out great, and I’ll be buying the pattern in May and making more. I think I need just a bit more booty room, but the 14 C/D was indeed the right choice. I added just a bit onto the back princess seams, but did it so sloppily I think I need to start from scratch, retrace, and do things the proper way. I also had to take in the front waist through hips about an inch on each side.

This rayon fabric was a remnant at Stitch and cost $10.36. I kind of hated it, it frayed a lot and was super slippery, but it came out good and feels really nice, so I’m pretty thrilled with my breezy $10 top now that it’s getting warmer. I just need to crank out a few more pieces and I’ll have a good start for summer.

These are damn close! Toppings are everything and salt, the best of the bagels. What is up with everything bagels without enough salt?! It’s the saddest. Anyway, join me next time as I try to make bialys, something I can’t even find a poor imitation of.
