Cashmerette Appleton Top

September 12, 2017

I bought a kit for this Appleton top from Cashmerette a while back and finally got around to making it a couple of weeks ago. I wasn’t entirely sold it on at first, but I’ve worn it a few times so I think I’ve come around to it!

The kit was for a black rayon jersey knit which was really easy to cut and sew. I went with the same size I used for the Springfield (a 14 C/D, graded to what would be about a 10 at the waist). It’s a bit low cut for me, but works well for layering (over a rayon Springfield here). If I make another, I might adjust the front wraps for more coverage.

The construction was really straight forward, and I used the serger for most of it. I did the hem with a small zig zag because I was too lazy to get out the twin needle.

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.
