Patchwork Vest
| Fashion Illustrations by Renie Hanna |
| 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! |

| Vest Back Note: If you wish to make the vest back pieced too, just double your yardage measurements. | 3/4 |
| 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? | |

| Batiste is a light weight, fairly sheer fabric. You'll generally find it in a cotton-poly blend. Your main concern is that you will be able to see through it, so the best color to use is white. | |
Notions
Buttons:
3-4 (optional)
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'.
Finishing
Decorative thread, yarn, embroidery floss, etc. To define the 'patchwork' design.
My favorite way is to find a fancy yarn and 'machine couch' it on. (Machine
couching instructions included in this pattern).
