Batik Drafters Grid Skirt

Given the price of the Drafters Grid Dress pattern, you knew I was going to make something else from it before too long!  Plus I really love my first Drafters Grid Dress project, but it's definitely a statement piece, and I was hoping for something more wearable for every day.

Sweater Knit Sigrid Coat

I know I've been making spring and summer dresses recently, but the reality of the weather situation here in Vermont is that multiple layers of wool are still required at least every other day.
