Made a whimsical pathfinder for my partner and really enjoyed the sewing. Looking forward to making more. Great instructions made it easy to get a great finish
The princess seams were easier to sew than I imagined and give a great fit, I love vests but most are too boxy but this fit lovely. Great instructions and nice clean finish. Plus animal add ons make it so fun
