Those who've been garment sewing know the name Cashmerette! Specializing in sewing for curves, Cashmerette has now expanded their sewing line of patterns to include a wider ranges of sizes and most recently, LINGERIE! We are offering kits for their new pattern, the Willowdale, and we couldn't be more excited!
Changing leaves, apple picking, pumpkin spice, bright mums blooming in pots and a crispness in the air- this is what Feels Like Fall to us. We heart the colors in this ditzy floral stretch lace that match the season- in shades to match the season and warm tones that perfectly match the coziness of your favorite sweater. Our Heartwood is the ideal fabric base for this lace, and Mahogany, just a shade deeper, is perfect for accents. If you'd like to highlight any of the other hues, leave us a note.
Our Featured Artist Thaise B. made up the Afi Exquisite Bra pattern without any alterations. She used the full lace front over Microduoplex for the best stability. She self-drafted her undies- she likes them cheeky! She put her lace on the panties right over the Microlycra, but she said this lace could've held up on its own. While this isn't a Willowdale Bra, Thaise's bra shows you what your allover lace Willowdale will look like. It's a perfect lace for an allover pattern!
Our contains all the info about selecting your kit size, your options, fabrics and lace. Its a great place to begin if you are newer to bra sewing or new to the Willowdale pattern- or both!
The Willowdale Pattern is available. The size chart is, and the fitting guide is.
