I will send a picture, but just had to let you know how much I enjoyed sewing the City Safari Duo vest. It was probably one of the best patterns I've sewn in my long sewing career/hobby. It was fun, challenging, well written, fit well and I love it! Thanks again! Can't wait to wear it on my next trip!

Excellent pattern. The directions are easy. I have made two because I wanted to have ore than one to cover more than one travel option. One is quite light, the other quite heavy. Best pattern I have ever used!

I have mad two City Safari vasts. My husband Uses his frequently and had many positive comments about it. I have lost a lot of weight so the one I made previously is far too big!! I lost the pattern so I purchased another and I am now making another one that fits. I can't wait to get it finished. Such a great pattern. It solves a lot of concerns when traveling. A great pattern - easy to use -good instructions. I would highly recommend it.. My thanks! Carolle

I recently bought the pattern for shopping and travel.

I haven't made this pattern yet but I'm impressed with the detailed instructions on the pattern. Often I read pattern instructions once and I don't use them much after that because they aren't always helpful. These instructions are detailed and make sense to me.
