Sewing a wrap garment such as a dress, top, or jumpsuit will expand your skill set and create stylish, comfortable, and great transitional pieces for your wardrobe.

In Threads #210, Aug./Sept. 2020, author Nancy Nix-Rice extols the virtues of wrap dresses, and offers clever upgrades for knit versions. She talks about securing the wrap against unexpected slippage, and creating a firmer neckline edge that hugs the body more closely and provides more coverage.

At that time, we provided a Pattern Roundup for Knit Wrap Dresses that provided some wonderful options for knit dresses. Below, we’ve explored ten additional patterns for knits and wovens to add to your collection.  Whether the wrap garment is a full wrap or a faux wrap, you can learn new techniques and stretch your skills with these worthy patterns.
