PATCHWORK VEST
Tumbling triangles placed on a 'base' fabric, either fused or glued (UltraSuede) then outlined with decorative threads, yarns or trims.
Machine Couching instructions included.
Quilters will love it to show off their keen color sense, Non-Quilters will love the lack of tiny 1/4" seams. (In fact there are none!)
Detailed instructions for sewing with Cottons or UltraSuede, sewing shortcuts, and a design template to test your color theory!
Sizes Included:
XS through 3XL
Fabric Requirements- listed in yards.
- Light to Medium weight fabrics: Cotton - Silk - Linen - Lightweight Leather or Suede, Etc.
Notions
- Buttons: 3-4 (options)
- Fusible Web: A paper backed bonding web (Steam-A-Seam, Trans Web, Wonder Under).
We highly recommend Steam-A-Seam, as it has a superior bond, and comes in a "sticky back" version that makes placement a breeze.
- Elastic: 1/8 yard of 3/8" wide for optional 'elastic back'.

If making
a plain un-pieced back,
I like to use one of
the prints I've chosen
for the front, or a
solid textured type
of fabric usually found
in the 'bridal department'
of most fabric stores.
You can save some
money by lining your
vest with inexpensive
lining fabric, and
use your 'fancy fabric'
for just the back.
Make sure all fabrics
are washable. If
the vest is, why
buy a lining you'll
have to dry clean? |
