Welcome to Fitting for Curves and Pattern Hacking for Curves!
It's so frustrating to shop for clothes when you've got a curvy figure; not only are there very limited options, but they rarely fit well. Sewing is an amazing way to make and wear whatever your heart desires, in your size! But it's not always that easy; sewing patterns come in a limited number of sizes and, of course, we all have differently shaped bodies.
The secret? Learning how to adjust your patterns.
In Fitting for Curves: Pattern Adjustments for the Upper Body, you'll learn how to do pattern alterations for a curvy body, which is much easier than you might imagine! I take you step-by-step through how to figure out which alterations you need, measure your muslin for adjustments, and then how to alter your pattern pieces. By the end of the course, you'll feel confident in diagnosing fit issues in the upper body and know how to fix them.
In Pattern Hacking for Curves: 1 Top, 10 Ways, you’ll learn the secrets of how pattern designers adapt a simple pattern to create lots of different styles. Endlessly altering patterns to fit your curves can be frustrating, but using this technique you only have to make your base pattern fit once–and then every variation you create will fit you! This course includes 30% off any Cashmerette pattern.
Sewing lessons whenever and wherever you want.
Unlike regular classes, there's no need to block off time in your schedule or arrange to travel - you can watch the videos on your laptop, tablet, or phone, and master pattern alterations from the comfort of home. Learn at your own pace, and re-watch the videos as many times as you like - they never expire! Plus, you'll have 24/7 access, and it's a fraction of the price of an in-person class.

"Just finished watching the [Fitting for Curves] course. It was brilliant - clear instructions and easy to follow. I have been unsuccessful making garments from the Big 4 patterns due to my curves. I had numerous AHA moments whilst watching and now know where I was going wrong... A really great resource!"

Hi, I'm Jenny! I founded Cashmerette because I was so frustrated with never being able to find clothes that fit my plus size, curvy body (hello, H cups!).
I learned to sew at the tender age of 30, excited by the potential of being able to make clothes that fit me, and also reflected my bold, print-loving style. But I immediately faced the same issue that I did with store-bought clothes: most of them didn’t come anywhere near to fitting me well, not least because most were designed for a B cup.
So I learned how to alter patterns and had the (literally!) life changing revelation: that I could change my clothes to fit my body, rather than changing my body to fit clothes.
And well, the rest is history! At Cashmerette we have the patterns, books, and workshops that I wish had existed when I learned to sew. This, here, is my life’s mission, and I’m so glad you’re along for the ride!
As for the rest of my life? Well, I live with my daughter just outside of Boston, Massachusetts, but I’m originally from the UK (still have the accent!), and am very familiar with the British Airways Boston-London flight schedules. When I get the time, I also love drawing, painting, and cooking fancy things.
"Jenny: thank you so much for making this [Pattern Hacking for Curves] online workshop. Many things I knew intuitively from my years of sewing, but many I DID NOT. What an incredible source of information you are. Now I can feel comfortable doing my own alterations to make the garment "mine". A truly clear and very informative workshop."
