Do you sew your own clothes and take great photos of your me-mades? Do you want to get a free year of Cashmerette Club All Access membership? Apply today to be a Club collaborator!
We know how helpful it can be to see a new pattern on a variety of bodies. So anytime we release a new pattern, we call upon a handful of pals from the Cashmerette community to sew it up and send us photos to share with you.
And now you have a chance to be one of our Cashmerette Club collaborators! Here’s how it works:
- We’ll send you 3 patterns to make before they’ve been released
- You’ll sew them up and send us high-quality photos of you wearing them. You can sew them in the fabric of your choice, and even put your own spin on the design!
- You’ll then get a free year of Cashmerette Club All Access membership (worth $195) as well as other collaborator-only perks. If you’re new to the Club, that’s your first year free, and if you’re an existing All Access member, it means you’ll get an extra year free!

FAQs
How do I apply to be a Club collaborator?
Simply fill out this form by January 1st!
You’ll be asked to enter your measurements and Cashmerette size, and to submit 4 of the best photos you’ve taken of your me-mades (Cashmerette or otherwise).
You’ll also be asked for your social media handles, but those are not required.
Are there any specific requirements?
We’re interested in sewists who take really nice photos and who are in the Cashmerette size range. Other than that, no specific requirements—so we encourage everyone to apply!
Do I need to be a current Club member?
Nope! Anyone can apply, whether they’re currently in Cashmerette Club or not. If you’re not currently an All Access member, you’ll receive your first year for free. If you are a current All Access member, you’ll get your next year free!
How will you choose who is a collaborator?
We are looking for people who create beautiful garments and take inspiring photos—and as always, we’re looking for diversity of every type! Sometimes we also have particular styles in mind for a pattern and we’ll reach out to people who we also think will match that well. Don’t worry: we are *not* just choosing the people with the most followers on social media, so apply even if you’re not a social media maven!
What happens if I’m chosen?
We recruit a handful of collaborators every 2-3 months, so if you’re selected, we’ll reach out to you by email. You’ll then have a few days to review the 3 designs and deadlines and get back to us.
If the specific patterns don’t appeal to you or the deadlines don’t work, no problem! We’ll be happy to try you again next time.
If you’re available and interested, here’s how it works:
- We’ll send you 3 patterns before they’ve been released.
- You’ll sew up them up and take high-quality photos of yourself wearing the garments.
- Once we have all of your photos, you’ll get a free year of Cashmerette Club All Access membership, as well as other collaborator-only perks, like early access to future patterns and affiliate opportunities.
What do you mean by high-quality photos? Do I need any special equipment?
We’re looking for high-resolution photos that clearly show you wearing your garment styled as a cohesive outfit. You should be posing in front of a pleasant (not distracting) background, and your makes need to be nicely sewn and pressed. The photos should be taken by another person or with a tripod—no selfies or mirror photos.
You can look at the collaborator photos in this blog post to get an idea of what we mean!
These days, most smart phones have great cameras, so no fancy equipment is needed.
Can I choose which patterns to make?
We’ll reach out to you with 3 specific patterns, but if those designs don’t speak to you, no problem! We’ll be happy to reach out again with different options.
How much time will I have to sew and photograph each pattern?
You’ll have at least 3 weeks per design, from the day you receive the pattern to the day the photos are due.
Can I use fabric from my stash?
Absolutely! You can use any fabric you’d like, so long as it meets the fabric requirements for the pattern.
Can I hack the patterns?
Yes! We love seeing how creative our collaborators get with our designs.
