Kwik Sew 3718

I needed a quick sew, so I turned to Kwik Sew.  I wanted to sew up a warm winter dress that would be comfortable but a little stylish.  I had some double knit that I thought might drape nicely and be suitable for work.  This is what I ended up making.

Yes, it’s a sack.  Basically a huge windcheater, and definitely too casual for work.  But you know what – I love it!  It’s a great winter garment with leggings and boots and a warm spencer underneath.  The sleeve detailing lifts it a little too.

The pattern actually calls for soft wovens, so I was going a little out of left field making it in this knit.  I might give it another go in summer in something drapier.  In the meantime I’ll be getting plenty of wear out of this one!
