Mix a simple apparel pattern with a fabulous fabric and you have a recipe for stylish success. Recently we created several AnyTime Toppers in Luxe Cuddle® Fabrics.

Quick and easy cutting instructions and straight line stitching make this a perfect garment pattern for Quilters. Two sizes and three lengths make this a versatile pattern offering endless opportunities for creativity.

Misty and I demonstrated just how easy the AnyTime Topper is to construct when I was a guest on an At Home with Misty episode - you can view it here.

Luxe Cuddle® is offered in many textures and colors, in addition to a variety of awesome animal prints. The AnyTime Topper can double as a fun, casual fashion, and it is a perfect wrap for getting cozy. Large arm openings allow you to pull your arms inside and convert the Topper to a cape-like blanket.

How about a version created as a robe to match your lounge wear? This pink Luxe Cuddle® makes a perfect companion to pajamas.

Another simple pattern that makes a statement in Luxe Cuddle® is the WearEver Wrap. Depending on your fabric choice it is a design for every season and every occasion. Similar to the Topper, wear it to keep warm on the couch or out to a cocktail party.

Create it in color and wear it to your next elegant affair or pair it with jeans for a stunning statement piece. Notice the cuffs, the pattern explains that you have the option to add elastic for a gathered sleeve or leave them loose, as you see in these photos. My new patterns also include Online Bonus Content, which includes a Look Book with more fabric inspiration and also videos that share notions and techniques to enhance your experience sewing the pattern. In the WearEver Wrap Bonus Content I share some great tools for pulling the elastic through the cuff casing.

Both these designs are as fun to make as they are to wear, but what I love most about these patterns is that they make great gifts. Both patterns offer several styles and multiple sizes.

With a two yard Cuddle® Cut you can make two adult WearEver Wraps or one adult and two childs. The Two Yard cut will make the AnyTime Topper in a short or medium length.
