lapels, drapey fabrics or heavier weights,
front cross-wrapped, buttoned, and lined
or unlined.
The
pattern includes:
• All pattern pieces
• Full instructions
• Sizes 8-16: waist
and tunic length
vest styles
• Sizes 18-28: hip and tunic length
styles
• Very loose and drapey styling

box pleat for all sizes and views.
The vest has the option of being made
with a lining if you prefer a more traditional
looking vest.

- For hand sewing you need the
right needles. The best needles
I've ever used are English
hand needles. Size 10 -
20 pieces.
- The best un-sewing tool ever! Havel's
Seam Ripper is for regular
and serged seams. It cuts through
thread like magic; no tugging,
pulling, poking or destroying your
fabric.
