Your Cashmerette Makes: 14 Fabulous Fiskes


You can rest easy knowing that you’re in for a night of comfort, support and style while wearing the newest addition to the Cashmerette Collection, the Fiske Sleepwear Set. We’ve designed the ultimate sleep cami for big boobs, with a comfy built-in non-wired bra, plus an entire sleepwear collection to go with it. And we wanted to help inspire you to sew your own Fiske by sharing this array of fantastic Fiskes sewn by makers in our community!

The Fiske Sleepwear Set comes in size 0-32 and with this single pattern, you can make a supportive cami or nightgown, a curve-friendly long or short pajamas, a gape-free nightshirt, a cozy robe, and all with options to make them uniquely yours!

Here are 14 different looks made by Cashmerette makers to help inspire you in making your own Fiske. Enjoy!

Carol’s Fiske

A zebra print charmeuse with green piping, Carol’s Fiske Pajama Set is a dazzling blend of comfort and luxe evening wear. The pajama shirt is a size 28 graded to a 32 at the hips in an E/F cup, and the pajama pants are a size 28. Her measurements are 46” high bust, 52” full bust, 50” waist, and 63” hips (116 cm high bust, 132 full bust, 127 cm waist, 160 cm hips).

Her favorite part of this sew was adding the cuffs to both the shirt and the pants and she’s planning to add a camisole to her Fiske Pajama Set in the same vibrant green color as the piping.

Here’s what Carol had to say about her Fiske:

“I’m very proud!! I’ve shied away from making pants for ages as they never fit right. Now I finally have pants.”

Rachel’s Fiskes

A lovely pair of Fiske sets, Rachel chose to sew a short sleeve Fiske Pajama Shirt and Shorts Set as well as a long sleeve Fiske Pajama Shirt and Pants Set to take her Fiske from season to season. Her first Fiske Pajama Shorts Set is sewn in a night sky rayon in a size 4 C/D graded to a 6 at the waist and 8 at the hips. Her measurements are 32” high bust, 35” full bust, 28” waist, and 39” hips (81 cm high bust, 88 full bust, 71 cm waist, 99 cm hips).

Delighted by the comfort and particularly by the pockets and the clean finish that they provide, she’s looking forward to snuggling up in her Fiske with a good book and a cup of tea.

Here’s what Rachel shared with us about this Fiske:

“I love it! It’s comfortable and light and I feel cute in it. The perfect pajamas for summer!”

Rachel loved the summer version of her Fiske so much that she decided to make a heavier cold-weather version as well and we have to say that this Fiske is absolutely scrumptious. She sewed this version in a 4 C/D graded to a 6 at the waist and 8 at the hips. She also went with a s’more themed snuggle flannel.

Here’s what Rachel had to say about her second Fiske:

“I love it! It’s so cozy. This will definitely become a TNT pattern for me.”

Cindy’s Fiske

Cindy’s black Fiske Camisole is comfy and secure—perfect for a good night’s sleep. Sewn in a 38 G graded to a 42 at the waist down, she chose a black double brushed poly to complete the look. The bra lining is also made of a 1-way stretch mesh with a power net for the back and power bar. Her measurements are 39” high bust, 46” full bust, 41” waist, and 49” hips (99 cm high bust, 116 full bust, 104 cm waist, 124 cm hips).

Here’s what Cindy had to say about her Fiske:

“I love it! It’s very comfortable as a sleep garment that also makes my chest feel secure.”

Annie’s Fiske

A coordinating and wonderfully wizard-ing version of the Fiske, Annie’s Pajama Set is otherworldly and we’re loving it! She chose a cotton woven with a Harry Potter Toile print and black piping and loves how by simply adding the piping to the cuffs, it gave the pants and shirt some extra pizazz.

She sewed hers in a size 8 C/D. Her measurements are 35” high bust, 38” full bust, 30” waist, and 40” hips (88 cm high bust, 96 full bust, 76 cm waist, 101 cm hips).

She added that if she were to sport her Harry Potter Fiske out and about as a daytime look, she’d add a cropped top underneath to make it more sporty along with fun flats or sneakers.

Here’s what Annie shared with us about her Fiske:

“I love how you can mix and match different elements to make this daytime or nighttime friendly! I’m also a sucker for coordinated sets so the Fiske is right up my alley.”

Shontae’s Fiske

Shontae’s Fiske Camisole and Robe are giving vacation spa vibes and we’re here for it. Shontae’s robe was sewn in a size 4 in a stretch velvet and her camisole in a size 28C. Her measurements are 27” high bust, 34” full bust, 27” waist, and 38” hips (68 cm high bust, 86 full bust, 68 cm waist, 96 cm hips).

Her favorite part of her Fiske sew was dyeing the lace on her camisole and is loving the finished look.

Here’s what Shontae had to say about her Fiske:

“I like it a lot; it’s comfortable and ready for snuggle time.”

Basma’s Fiske

Basma is resting easy knowing that she has the cutest and most supportive pajamas around with her blue and purple patterned Fiske Pajama Set. She sewed hers in a size 30 G/H using an Ankara from her stash. Her measurements are 52” high bust, 57” full bust, 51” waist, and 61” hips (132 cm high bust, 144 full bust, 129 cm waist, 154 cm hips).

She finds her Fiske to be perfect for lounging though she does admit that next time she’ll consider using a different fabric as this selection may be a bit too stiff to sleep in. But she loves the look and also enjoyed learning how to insert piping.

Basma had this to say about her Fiske:

“My Fiske is a full look! A cute top and matching shorts – what more could a sewist want? :-)”

Jessica’s Fiske

Comfy, cozy and full of joy, Jessica’s Fiske and the experience she had while making it simply fills us with happiness. She sewed hers in a size 16 C/D graded to an 18 at the waist and a size 18/20 for the pants in a navy and white Art Gallery cotton. Her measurements are 40.5” high bust, 44” full bust, 39” waist, and 50” hips (102 cm high bust, 111 full bust, 99 cm waist, 127 cm hips).

When crafting her perfectly personalized pajama set she opted for a drawstring waist for added comfort and added little details such as the side stripes.

She’s very pleased with how her Fiske came out and the fact that it’s comfy enough to wear all day long. She’s looking forward to enjoying a good book or a lap-full of knitting and a cup of coffee in a cozy spot while relaxing in her new Fiske Pajamas, which sounds downright cozy to us as well.

Jessica had this to say about her Fiske:

“Don’t be like me and skip the pockets thinking you won’t need them. I left mine out and wish I hadn’t, just one little detail you’ll thank yourself for later. Oh and choose the fun fabric for this project. The fabric you might love, but think it’s too loud or bold for your daily life. Use it here! It will bring you so much joy.”

Courtney’s Fiske

We absolutely love the fabrics and colors that Courtney selected! Having never made a robe before, she was eager to make the Fiske Robe and made the Fiske Nightshirt to go with it. She sewed both in an 18 G/H and chose a rainbow brushed cotton for the robe and a cotton double gauze in powder blue and royal blue for the nightshirt. Her measurements are 41.5” high bust, 47.5” full bust, 39” waist, and 46” hips (105 cm high bust, 120 full bust, 99 cm waist, 116 cm hips).

Absolutely infatuated with both pieces, she’s particularly keen on the nightshirt because of how light it is due to the gauze—perfect for lounging, while the robe is warm and cozy without being too bulky.

Courtney had this say about her Fiske:

“I’m really excited to have the sleep shirt for travel—it’s nice to have something to throw on and lounge in when you’re away from home. The robe is already in my rotation. It’s perfect for sitting with my morning coffee.”

Rhi’s Fiske

Paired with slippers and a blanket, Rhi’s floral patterned Fiske is both comfy and elevated. She sewed hers in a size 12 G/H in a cotton. Her measurements are 36” high bust, 41” full bust, 33” waist, and 39” hips (92 cm high bust, 106 full bust, 86 cm waist, 101 cm hips).

She admits that it was her first time working with piping, but that the clear instructions really helped her out and now she loves the chic look that the piping provides.

Here’s what Rhi had to say about her Fiske:

“I love them! The pajamas are lovely and very comfortable with lots of nice design details. I particularly like the shape of the cuffs on the shorts which bring the leg in slightly.”

Stacie’s Fiske

Stacie’s patterned polyester Fiske Camisole and Fiske Pajama Shorts are perfectly personalized and comfy and she’s ready for a night of relaxation as a result! She sewed her camisole in a 54DD, her shorts in a size 32 and chose a lightweight polyester/spandex knit for both.  Her measurements are 50” high bust, 54” full bust, 45” waist, and 65” hips (127 cm high bust, 137 full bust, 114 cm waist, 165 cm hips).

She admits that this is her new go-to set for at-home movie nights, but she loves it too much to wear it too often!

Stacie had this to say about her Fiske:

“I loved how my waistband looked so professional. It’s odd how that jumped out to me, but that was the most comfortable waistband I’ve ever made. The triple elastic was an excellent idea. Also, the lace on the camisole was the perfect touch to my fabric. I love this pajama set!”

Mona’s Fiske

From ratty t-shirts to a pretty green Fiske Camisole, Mona’s sleepwear upgrade makes her feel both fancy and supported. Sewn in a 38I in a Kelly green cotton lycra, Mona’s Fiske Camisole is self-lined. Her measurements are 48” high bust, 48” full bust, 44” waist, and 52” hips (121 cm high bust, 121 full bust, 111 cm waist, 132 cm hips).

She admits to enjoying this sewing project, particularly creating the internal support parts and that she’ll likely make more Fiske Camisoles in the future with more traditional bra materials. Paired with pajama pants and slippers, she’s ready for a good night’s sleep. (Pants are not part of the Fiske.)

Here’s what Mona had to share about her Fiske:

“I love it! I usually wear (ratty) tank tops to bed and this camisole is a more supportive, pretty version. The lace really makes it special!”

Laura’s Fiske

Fun and floral is how we would describe Laura’s Fiske Nightshirt and Pajama Pants. She sewed hers in a size 16 C/D in a viscose twill in two colorways: green and black. Her measurements are 39” high bust, 40” full bust, 36” waist, and 47” hips (100 cm high bust, 104 full bust, 92 cm waist, 121 cm hips).

With comfort being her top priority, she’s pleased with the width of the elastic as well as the fact that she can wear the trousers in cold weather paired with a t-shirt, or the nightshirt as a light coverup in the summer.

Laura had this to say about her Fiske:

“The style elements are so fun – I love the stripe on the sleeves and legs and the cuff details. The trousers are my favourite as they are so comfy to wear.”

Jocie’s Fiske

Cool and coordinated, Jocie is ready to head to bed in style in her Fiske Camisole and Fiske Pajama Shorts. The pajama shorts were sewn in a size 10 and she added 2 inches to the waistband elastic. The camisole was sewn in a size 30DD with a 32 band. Her measurements are 34” high bust, 36” full bust, 30” waist, and 40” hips (86 cm high bust, 91 full bust, 76 cm waist, 101 cm hips).

For ultimate comfort and style she chose a purple rayon spandex for the camisole and flannel for the shorts. She’s smitten with how her Fiske Pajama Set feels and is proud of herself for trying something new since she hasn’t sewn lingerie before.

Here’s what Jocie had to say about her Fiske:

“I coordinated the fabrics for the camisole and bottoms so I can have a complete matching lounge set! Add on my fuzzy slippers and I’m set.”
