This popped up in my email on January 29th, and I admit that big 60% caught my eye. Normally I give sewing kit offers a pass. They’re expensive and often feature garments that are either very blah or very, well, irrational.
But I jumped over and took a look. This sale has some really cute things, and the prices are very good.
And I made a purchase – the Craftsy Exclusive Daytime Duo Knit Tank and Maxi Dress Kit for $19.99. It includes a downloadable pattern, a PDF instruction document, and fabric.
The pattern is designed by Meg McElwee, known to lots of us for her Craftsy class ‘Sewing With Knits: 5 Wardrobe Essentials’. I bought that class, it’s great, and I love the patterns from it.
This particular sewing kit was originally available in two sizes, S/M and L/XL, in a choice of 2 colors, emerald and pepper grey. The S/M comes with 3 yards of fabric, the L/XL with 5 yds.
And it’s Robert Kaufman 58″ wide Laguna Stretch cotton/spandex knit!
I jumped on the L/XL so fast. With $4.99 shipping, I paid an incredible $5/yard for this beautiful fabric. It arrived in a cute package, in a zippered bag,
Ciao! Coco
BeaJay's idea is a really good, I would not have thought that way. I am playing catch up tonight and saw you posted you might make pajamas. That is a great idea! A pretty floral contrast here and there, or a white piping, perhaps? It looks like luscious fabric.

It must have been exciting to get that package in the mail. Looks like lovely fabric..maybe a tunic?

That is a lot of green but I think you can carry it off. Or search your stash and see if there is a coordinating print and do a diagonal slash down the pattern. Looking forward to seeing what you make with it.

I thought about buying this kit for the fabric also!
