   This is a very clever design, especially the pockets inserted in the seam between the top and skirt sections. The darts at the side, in substitute for the side seams, is another clever idea.
   However, I think it comes up SMALL and there isn’t much scope for altering it due to there being no side seams in the bodice and skirt.
   I’m always an 18 in SA patterns, so ordered a single size pattern.
   It barely meets across the bust and certainly doesn’t meet across the hips.
   Its a shame, as its an expense having to buy it again in a larger size.

   – I really like this vest. It wasn’t super easy – I struggled a bit sewing the facings around the armholes. I ended up topstitching everything because even after understitching, I felt like I needed to keep the facing from rolling out. I’m not a big fan of facings anyway, and I found myself wishing that there was a full lining instead.
   – I think it’s true to size, but it’s quite fitted so if you want to wear it over heavier clothes, I would definitely size up. I cut the armholes out larger but the rest was fine. I am tall, so I did lengthen it in two spots.
   – The instructions were fairly detailed and I had no difficulty following them.

   This is a very smart looking garment. I made it out of black heavy weight denim. The pattern is an intermediate sewing level and was challenging for me but I enjoyed seeing the finished project. One error on my part was not noticing the difference in sizing between AU and US.

   This is a wonderfully versatile piece. I made it out of a heavy weight washed linen. Extremely pleased with the result. Can’t wait to make another.

How Do I Know What Size I Am?

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

1. When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
2. Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
3. When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
4. You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:

A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
