That's a great top and the fabric is gorgeous! Yes to having to be ready for any kind of climate - exterior or interior - I gave up on my cashmere turtleneck sweater that I loved so much because it wasn't the kind of thing you could just pull off whenever you got flushed...😆! I love the coverage on the sides of this top, too - I wind up taking in ready-to-wear tank tops with darts under the arms all the time because they make the armholes strangely huge.
I need to take advantage of my Cashmerette membership. I made up a croquis, but I never did cut out the clothes to see how they would look on the croquis
Wow! 1st - I love your top and the fit which is perfect on you. Never took advantage of the Cashmerette croquis..will have to do it now. Thank for this video👏❣
Forgot to tell you this- I have purchased a book from Gina Rene called The Fashion Design Book which has really help me to find what fit my body better (curvy edition) which is fantastic to help us find what works for us. Hope this help!
Cute shirt. I like your tip of glueing your labels into position. I use pins to install label but I find it shifts. I will use your glue tip next time I sew in a label.
What a lovely holiday and everyday top you’ve created. I’m with you girl, I’m too 🥵 to wear multiple layers. But here in the Midwest US it can get very 🥶 Lightweight layers are the key for me and nothing snug at my neck. Thank you for showing us how to use the Croquis. I’ve been an All Access member for awhile and love all they have to offer!
Donna, I don't know if it can ever be too cold! Freezing one minute, boiling up the next 😁 I'm glad that you found the info helpful on the croquis. It's a helpful tool!
Such a pretty top, Janine! I’ve printed out my Cashmerette croquis but not used it (I’m not much of a sketch artist). You’ve inspired me! For personalized custom labels in USA I like Wunderlabel. There’s a design tool on the website. Happy holiday season! -Adele
Adele, thanks for mentioning Wunderlabel. I’ve been dealing with another company the last few weeks - back and forth emails, less than desirable customer service. Just went onto Wunderlabel website, spent about 20 minutes, designed my label and ordered exactly what I’ve been trying to get for weeks! Thanks again so much for the info!!
Andrea, the all-access gives you everything including all of the patterns that have been released since the Club started. The other two levels don’t give you all of the patterns from previous months. Maybe take a look at some of the previous patterns to see if they’re of interest? We can chat about it, too. Send me an email if that’s easier. Cheers!
I have learned something new today! I never heard of a croquis! So, Cashmerette wouldn’t work for me since I am an A (sometimes B cup)? Your top is lovely, Janine! ❤️🥰~Nancy
I learned several new things here. Now, does that glue pen hold up in the wash or do you have to reinforce with stitches? BTW I really like the fit of your top.😊
A gorgeous top and thank you for showing us your thought process and how you used the croquis.🌸
You're welcome! Croquis are a great way to experiment with different design ideas.
Oh and I forgot to mention LOVE the fabric and yes very versatile!
I really like a garment that becomes a favourite able to dress it up or down as you want to change the look. Like the look on you. Great creation👏👏
Thanks, it's definitely a versatile top!

It's always a struggle, isn't it? We need to be able to handle both hot and cold in the same outfit!
Such a well thought out top Janine. I love that you can use use in any climate as well.
The fabric on your new top is lovely on you. Great idea for a holiday makr.
You're right! It's perfect for all the holiday events!
Beautiful make, Janine. It looks great on you and the colours are perfect for your complexion. 😊
Thank you, I'm really happy with how it turned out. 🥰
Thanks for this video. As always, you share very valuable information.
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!

Zelda, I hope you'll get some use out of your membership! I've found that the masterclasses are really good.

Thanks for watching! I think the croquis will help to prevent sewing missteps.
Beautiful! Love this top xx
You're so sweet, thank you!

Helen, thank you for sharing this! I’ll look for this book today 💕
Gorgeous and yes, versatile top. Croqui use needs to be in my future.
It makes pattern selection so much easier!
That top looks great - good combination of material and pattern.
Thank you!

Love the top and awesome that it goes with so many things.
I was really surprised by how many other pieces work with it. I could say it was all part of a plan but nope 😆

Thank you for this recommendation, Adele. I haven’t heard of Wunderlabel but will add it to the list in the description.
What are the differences between the cashmere tote all access (cheaper) and the all access?

She said that she stitches over after she glues.
Karen, that particular glue pen is water soluble.
A no-stitch option would be using Steam A Seam. That stuff is so helpful.
