I see the ads for this place all the time on Facebook and get asked a tonne about it in the classes I teach at Bobbin and Ink so I thought I’d buy and review it.
This post is so overdue in being written. One of those things that kept getting put on the backburner and then bumped and well you know how it goes. It’s time to share the Cashmerette Appleton dress I made as part of the Pitt Trading Summer Soiree (held all the way back in October 2018).
First let’s talk about the pattern. I used the copy shop version and ended up making the size 12. Mainly because it was going to be used on display and we had a size 12 dummy to be dressed. All over it went together really well. My only tiny problem was the fact I never read the instructions and spent a good 5 to 10 minutes trying to figure out how the ties actually worked? So aside from my oversight I was really impressed at how fast and easy it was.
I used my overlocker and overstitch machine and the actual sewing took maybe half an hour. Which is really speedy, great if you need a dress in a hurry.
I want this fabric in ALL the colours and ALL the prints. Sadly it only came in this print as Pitt Trading got it as part of their amazing way of getting designer fabrics. It’s a soft, stretchy viscose knit and the print is fabulous.
Combined with this pattern this surely has to be the most secret pyjamas outfit I have ever made.
