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.
Delightful! I hope they get many years of use and delight out of wearing it. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice way to put scraps together and making something useful. If you know me, sewing/creating something useful is how I roll. I hope this vest is worn happily, and with pride in mom. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe vest looks great! What a great gift.
