After burning all my skinny jeans, I have knit things on my radar and have been seeing “knit sets”–a relaxed sweater and a matching sweater-knit skirt–at fast fashion places like ASOS. (I’m not linking because 1. fast fashion and 2. each piece is $40 and that is highway robbery.)
These look comfy! And warm! And versatile! And like something you could make with this fabric (or this, if you don’t want to buy from Amazon-owned Fabric.com)…. 
…and this pattern, all for about the cost of ONE piece from ASOS. 
Hooray, sewing! And hooray, clothes that don’t leave button marks on your muffin top.
