Classic Quilted Vests Author:Marianne Fons, Liz Porter This book is designed for persons who have a basic knowledge of patchwork, applique, and quilting techniques. Our purpose is to help quilters use the basic sewing skills to make any number of beautiful, wearable, reversible, super-fashionable vests. If you have enjoyed making patchwork pillows, and maybe a quilted wall piece, then making a vest ... more »will be easy; and you can wear your art wherever you go! If you have a house full of quilted projects, it's a good time to start working on your wardrobe. You can wear a quilted vest with jeans, pants, skirts, or with a matching dress.
Classic Quilted Vest is unique in two ways. Included in the book is a full-size master fest pattern for sizes 8 - 18. All the vests shown in the book have been made from this basic pattern. Also, the quilt block patterns selected for embellishing the vest are not commonly found drafted in pattern books. So, this text will prove useful not only as a complete "how to" for making vests, but also as an extra source for fully drafted patterns for quilts and other projects.
We have been making and wearing our quilted vests for several years and have enjoyed the compliments and moments they inspire. We hope you will have fun making vests for yourself and others.« less
