Jenny Rushmore is Cashmerette patterns. She's a supporter of the SewOver50 community on Instagram. Representation is definitely very important to Cashmerette patterns and as Jenny says, 'while we can always improve, I'm pleased that we are doing a fairly decent job.' Earlier this year Jenny helped SewOver50 with their very first visibility research project. In this podcast we hear how Jenny saw the need to develop sewing patterns that she wanted to wear and that catered for women needing full cup adjustments, like Jenny. Jenny has a fulltime team of 3 people with lots of expertise that work for Cashmerette patterns. Head over to Cashmerette Patterns and let Jenny know if you're a Boston local and would like to be a model for her pattern company.

Jenny Rushmore of Cashmerette Patterns comes on the show to talk about her sewing journey, her business, and the Curvy Sewing Collective. She also tells us the story of #cakewithcashmerette, and how sewing has helped her to love and accept her body, and inspire others to do the same.
On today’s episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast we’re talking about running a fabric company with my guests, Kathy Miller and Michael Steiner. Kathy and Michael are the co-founders of Michael Miller Fabrics. We begin by talking about Kathy's and Michael's careers before co-founding the company together. Kathy and Michael then explain how they met and came together to form their own fabric company. Michael Miller Fabrics has evolved considerably since its early days and you'll hear how and why it changed, and how the business was funded early on. We talk about Quilt Market and how the role of trade shows is changing. We also talk about how Michael Miller has differentiated itself in a crowded marketplace. Kathy and Michael consider the future of fabric manufacturing and how digital printing might change things. ++++ Today's episode is sponsored by Cashmerette Patterns. Did you know that the average woman wears a size 16 and a DD bra, but that most sewing patterns stop at a 14 and are drafted for a B cup? That’s why Jenny Rushmore launched Cashmerette Patterns, the first sewing patterns designed for curves. Cashmerette Patterns come in sizes 12 – 28 and cup sizes from C – H, and there are a range of modern patterns from the ultimate wrap dress to a button-down shirt that doesn’t gape at the bust.

On today's episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast we're talking about starting an indie sewing pattern company from scratch with my guest, Jenny Rushmore.

Originally from the UK but now living in Boston, Jenny learned to sew at 30 and it transformed her life, leading not only to a new found body confidence but a change in career.
