I’m turning the Seamwork Sadie sweater pattern into a cozy fleece dress for winter and adding a few thoughtful tweaks along the way.

- Using a fleece-backed knit for extra warmth
- Adding quilted knit at the cuffs and pockets for structure
- Mixing textures in the same color family for subtle contrast
- Using quilted fabric where a bit of stability actually helps

A simple pattern hack that turns a basic sweater into an everyday winter dress.
