A Special Cashmerette Deal and My Top 5 Patterns

[@Lorij83]

I just joined the club. I’m so glad I get a free pattern.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I thought it was a really great deal!

[@marionpaul9573]

I’ve been on the fence… this offer is the tipping point. Love your enthusiasm about sewing, inspires me. ❤

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so glad!

[@KnittyT]

The free pattern pushed me off the fence! Now I’m an all access member! Thank you

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good! I'm really enjoying this club tier!

[@tufornumberone]

Appreciate your sharing the Cashmerette deal. Beyond that, I haven’t seen a single sewing vlogger post yet about Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals. I know in the coming weeks, I will see loads of fabric haul videos by sewing vloggers about what they personally bought for BF/CM, but it would be really great for yours/their subscribers to get some intel about these sales in advance. I am sure you don’t know the specifics of retailers’ BF/CM deals, but I just watched a well-known beauty blogger who also didn’t know the specifics either talk about what was already on sale for early BF and spoke about her experience, by brand, for 2021’s BF/CM. She said she obviously didn’t know for sure if this year’s deals would be the same as last year’s, but by providing the details on last year’s deals, by brand/retailer, it was enormously helpful - whether or not it pans out to be true (having worked with online retailers for years, I can tell you that chances are high that they will roll over the same promo calendar YoY). Is there any way you can maybe share that info with us re: where you have seen BF/CM deals in the past? Your audience would way rather see a video like that in advance of these major sale days than see your own fabric hauls after-the-fact. Again, no guarantees that this year will match prior years. I’m sure everyone would be cool with that.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I already have this week's videos filmed and uploaded (due to Thanksgiving), but I do talk about some more BF/CM deals in tomorrow (Wednesday)'s video!

[@kandacek63]

I’ve been an all access member since the beginning and it’s wonderful! Unfortunately my plans far exceed my time.😊

[@TomKatStitchery]

I know that feeling all too well 😂.

[@KTquiltsandsews]

totally agree...I love it!

[@norakathleenbertoglio4414]

I made the Cashmerette sweatshirt dress out of a nice fabric with a fleece-type feel on the inside. It’s so nice and warm with the double brushed poly inside of the hood and kangaroo pocket! I have been wearing it to the gym over leggings. I LOVE the Cashmerette club.

[@TomKatStitchery]

That sounds super cozy!

[@donnastiles2518]

That's a great deal. I enjoy the Club. Sew much info and Jenny is a great teacher.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I really enjoy it as well!

[@rachellynncreates2703]

As you’re talking about this I’m ironing the hem for my roseclair dress.

[@TomKatStitchery]

How fun! I love that pattern!

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

This is such a great deal! Loving my Vernon shirt from the class by the way😊. And you’re right the Concord tee is one of the best fitting I’ve tried. But I’m sad Cashmerette doesn’t have a Tomkat offer for existing All Access Members😢

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so glad you're loving the Vernon as much as I do! I'm hoping that Cashmerette will want to work with me more in the future so stay tuned!

[@lynnshepard7485]

I’m gonna do it! I was on the fence, but I’ve decided to pull the trigger. I didn’t realize all the added benefits of the all-access, but thanks to you, Whitney, now I do. 😊 The Miriam trousers: yes, I have a lack of pants in my wardrobe, and I need these! 💗

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so excited about making up those Meriam pants!

[@glendavizecky7581]

Great deal! I'm putting this on my Christmas list! The kids can purchase early!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Great idea!

[@cecilehoare3053]

What a great deal! I love the idea of the pants...off to check out the sale!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Woo Hoo!

[@kristenhunter3709]

Your extra deal pushed me over the edge!!! Happy early Christmas to me. So excited to get started, I’ve been eying the Upton for AGES!!!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Woo Hoo!

[@wendythomson8382]

I'm so excited Whitney! My husband has just purchased this special offer for me for Christmas. Can't wait to make all the Cashmerette garments xx

[@TomKatStitchery]

How exciting!

[@heatherbowser3635]

You look beautiful today.

[@TomKatStitchery]

That is so kind! Thank you!

[@alexandraemrick2799]

Sounds like a great deal! I'm hesitating because I am not curvy, more like a rectangular shape with extra fluff in the middle. Don't hesitate to make the bra though. I recently discovered bra making (from another pattern maker), and bras are surprisingly easy and quick to make, and addictive too. One tip for bra making use a walking foot, it'll make slippery fabrics much easier to sew.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I do think I'm going to jump on that bra pattern!

[@alexandraemrick2799]

@@TomKatStitchery Go for it! It's fun. If you need instruction, Beverly Johnson has the best videos on Craftsy, they're not free, but they walk you right through it.

[@ksykes2009]

What a great deal. Been thinking of joining Cashmerette Club for awhile. Going to jump right on this for a few patterns for Christmas gift makes.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good!

[@constancee.1832]

I was on the fence but after watching your video (ok during your video) I purchased the All Access membership. Thanks for the helpful video!

[@TomKatStitchery]

😂 I get it!

[@gaildulmage3662]

Thank you Whitney! With the Cashmerette sale on the club membership, the free patterns (I had missed 2 before joining the middle tear) and the bonus from you the annual membership almost has paid for itself already. I had been wanting the t-shirt pattern and the bomber jacket so all round win for me

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good!

[@coachcasey9823]

So many cute patterns, but being on the smaller and decidedly rectangular size, their patterns take more grading for me than I’m usually willingly to do (I’m lazy). However, the sizing calculator on their site is amazing! What a great tool for their customers!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I agree! That sizing calculator is so good!

[@ilnacastelyn6310]

This is a great offer! My sewjo completely left me, so I'm scared to buy, but still, it is very tempting... 😆

[@TomKatStitchery]

I hate when the sewjo goes!

[@vanessathomas6362]

Such a generous deal!!

[@TomKatStitchery]

It really is!

[@marieandree25]

I'm so excited about this deal 🤗 thank you! Now, i have to choose wich pdf i want for free...this is going to take a couple days 😅😅

[@TomKatStitchery]

😂 I get it!

[@Escape10mom]

This sounds awesome. I've been debating .....

[@TomKatStitchery]

I've been very impressed.

[@kandacek63]

I’m still waiting to get to the Vernon. Have the fabric and everything.

[@TomKatStitchery]

It's a fabulous pattern!

[@lindacrusco-stebbins9187]

Whitney - what sleeve did you use for your Harrison shirt? I'm having my son get me the subscription for Christmas! thanks for all

[@TomKatStitchery]

That is actually the Vernon shirt and it's the second sleeve that comes with that pattern. It's lovely!

[@mariedyde448]

Hi Whitney, whilexwatching this video, I was attracted to the Friday slipover v neck you are wearing. So I wnt ahead and bought the pattern. I have no problem with the broken rib stich, but am confused with the materials section. It says" Sunday by Sandnes Garn " held together with Brushed Lace from Mohair by Canard". Do you know what this means?? The alternatives given" Tynn silk mohair or Silk Mohair, are they used on their own, or are they " held together" with the other yarn. I really hope you can shed some light on this. I've searched online but remain confused. Hope you can help regards Marie

[@TomKatStitchery]

Yes. You knit the entire pullover holding two strands of two different yarns together. You hold a silk mohair yarn (lace weight) with a fingering weight yarn. You knit on larger needles than normally used for this thin of yarn, but the combination of the silk/mohair and the fingering makes a really lightweight and airy fabric. It's lovely!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good!

[@debbiecook4270]

Do you know yet if you and Cashmerette will be having a similar Black Friday offer this year?

[@TomKatStitchery]

Stay tuned for that coming up next week!

[@kathybutts5757]

Help, I signed up and paid for all access club. I went thru your website, but didn't get a code for free pattern. Did I do something wrong?

[@TomKatStitchery]

There was a link that had you add a free gift to your cart when you bought the All Access. However, I would just send Cashmerette a note. I'm sure they can get you sorted with your free PDF!

[@cherylberry5982]

My high bust is 42” and 47” for the full bust. But I’m only 5’3” tall with a full tummy. I think my shoulders are a bit narrow too. I’m a member of the club too. Will I likely be able to use the cashmerette patterns work for me with less alterations than other indie patterns? What dress or shirt pattern would to recommend starting with? I’ve downloaded the free ones so far.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I think that anyone with fuller bust has much better luck fitting with pattern companies that offer cup sizes. I have to do very few alterations to Cashmerette, though I do have to grade up at the waist (I have to straighten the waist a bit).

[@helenhamilton9473]

Yikes I just signed up too I'm going to try the bra. I need bras that cost a fortune but aren't that much different to ordinary ones. So I'll be saving money in the long run.Right? Yeah

[@TomKatStitchery]

I think so! My daughter and I both have to have expensive bras so I think this is going to help us as well!

[@thebeehivebuzz9884]

This is tempting. I've been eyeballing the Upton pattern for weeks. I am wondering, however, where you get your PDF patterns printed? I've never done that before.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I get my PDF patterns printed from PDFPlotting.com . They are a great price point!

I’d rather they held a conventional sale. While there are one or two of their patterns I like, there’s no way I’d get value from their very expensive membership. Most disappointing!
