We have increased the size range on this fabulous pattern. It is now sized from XS to 3XL plus it has even better written guide sheets with more illustrations. The reversible vest has up to 10 pockets, allowing for hands-free, purse-free mobility and convenience for shopping or traveling. Create a one-of-a-kind garment with safe places for your cash, shopping list, travel documents, comb and lipstick, passport, maps, sketchbook and pen.

Travel wardrobe plans are included to help you develop a wardrobe perfect for day to day living or your next vacation.

Side 1 has in-seam pockets and is the blank canvas for your creativity. Machine embroidery, quilting, patchwork, paint, foiling or collage would be great choices.

Side 2 has a selection of up to 8 pockets, two with zippers, some with hook and loop closures and one zipper pocket on the back large enough for a map. Piping may be added between the two sides for a nice design detail.

Fabrics (light to medium weight fabrics): Japanese kimono fabrics, rayon, cotton, denim, silk noil and wool. Avoid knits and stiff fabrics. Very light weight fabrics may require a soft and supple fusible backing for stability. No allowance has been made for matching plaids.
All sizes (XS-3XL) included in pattern!

    Shoppers vest is the best!

    Posted by Wendy Harris on Mar 23rd 2024

    I made this vest so I could shop hands free of a purse. I LOVE it! It looks so sharp I sometimes wear it just as part of an outfit. I'm going to make a second one out of some different colors. I love the fit also.

    Just what I needed!

    I rather hate carrying a purse as I also use a cane, so this vest with pockets is going to be a big help. Thanks!!
