Quilted Vest


As a holiday gift for my youngest, I made them a vest! They chose the fabric - Moda Bluebird's Nest - and requested a blue lining fabric. The vest used two charm packs and then yardage purchased for binding and lining. Quilters Dream Request batting was used to keep the vest from being too thick. Quilting was a diagonal 2" grid.


I used a pretty blue solid for the lining and covered the seams with bias binding. This technique makes the vest reversible.


The pattern came from tracing a 'vintage' vest that I've owned for at least 20 years. It was a fun make and I can see myself making another.

Have a wonderful day! Patty
