Vest 101: Make a Garment with Mika Lee

In this course students learned how to cut from a pattern, seam and construct a fully lined vest!

From the class write up:

The pattern is for a simple vest by Simplicity and you will have the option of adding buttons/closures, a cozy hood and/or pockets. You will even have the option of making it reversible! 

In this course, we will keep it simple enough for you to be able to make these at home. Students will have full creative freedom in what material you want to use but I recommend a light-medium weight, non-stretch material for both the vest and the lining. You are more than welcome to large paper (available at the center), to copy this pattern, as I don't think it is available online.
