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.

We met 40 years ago as tiny bebes in the park, and through the years we drifted apart several times but always found each other again at various dance recitals, school field trips, beach clubs, fabric stores, and summer jobs. The universe kept shoving us together til it stuck. This quilt is a hug from afar. I might not be able to get up to New Jersey frequently but this quilt will be there for cozy/comforting times as needed. 

I picked out my fabric, then used a quilt generator at savoreverystitch.com (the last slide), then imported it into Photoshop and colored over it (second to last slide), basically changing the whole thing, but it was an awesome starting place.
