I’m thrilled to show you some of our testers\u00b4version of the new Leyton Knit Tank + Dress<\/a> today. Keep in mind our special offer if you buy all three of our new spring sewing patterns. Details are at the end of this post.<\/p>\n

First up, Erica and Paula each sewed the dress (View B) of this pattern, and they look very chic, don’t they? Both of these dresses could be worn in a variety of ways and for many occasions, and they can be styled in lots of different manners.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Leyton<\/a><\/p>\n

Next up Johanna used View A, the top, to sew PJs for her daughter. Great idea, right? And the always-chic Maria chose a great printed knit for her top. Look how great it looks paired with a simple sleek black skirt. This could be part of a travel wardrobe, for sure, especially since it doesn’t wrinkle. (I would use View A of our Kensington Knit Skirt<\/a>, in case you’re wondering…)<\/p>\n

\"Leyton<\/a><\/p>\n

Sue came through with her dress styled two different ways. You can also add a jacket, or even an unbuttoned Classic Shirt<\/a> to act like a jacket, to this style to get extra mileage out of it. No reason why you couldn’t put a sweater or a tee over it to wear it like a skirt, too.<\/p>\n

\"Leyton<\/a><\/p>\n

In case you missed it, I introduced the Leyton Knit Tank in this post<\/a> and talked more about fabric and styling here<\/a>. I’m excited to see how you’ll sew it! You can choose from the in\u00a0digital version<\/a>\u00a0and in\u00a0paper format<\/a>.<\/p>\n
