I absolutely loved making my first Trailblazer Vest. The written instructions were excellent and the video tutorials very helpful. It was my first time inserting a zip and the process was trouble free. Thanks Twig & Tale! The main fabric that I used for the was eco printed wool (I used sycamore leaves from my lane), the yoke natural colluded wool ant the lining eco printed silk etamine. Now I’m going to order reversible zips as ieth s little thought beforehand my next vest should be very easy to wear both ways out.
Very easy project. I didn’t line mine. Used fleece.
While I am an experienced sewing I normally sew tops and skirts so this was a new one for me. The instructions were clear. I liked have the summary with the ability to look at more detailed instructions for things like adjust for the fact I am a bigger size in the hips than the bust. I used left over fabric from other projects. This is warm and cozy and fits well. I see myself making a few more of these.
purtroppo non ho molto tempo libero e non ho ancora provato a cucire questo gilet...ma sono certa che verrà stupendo dato che questi pattern sono così dettagliati e semplici da seguire, anche per una principiante come me! vi adoro!!!!
I made this Trailblazer pattern as an ultralight windbreaker for sports. I left out the handwarmer pockets since I won't be needing them in this vest. Instead I drafted two internal pockets with elastic rims to hold my phone safe and keeping the headphone wires inside the vest. I used softshell fabric for lining the collar and for the yoke. I cut out top of the front piece to get the soft side of softshell fabric lining both the back and front of the yoke. I hemmed both hem and armholes with matching lycra strips. I wrote a longer review on sewingpattern.review.com
Love this pattern. Instructions were easy to follow. Even able to do an inside pocket following the link. My pocket was different to the instructions. I made mine bigger and a bit lower. This has been something I haven’t been to achieve on another jacket.
This is one of the most finely drafted patterns I've sewn. In addition - the instruction video iss not only well done but creative and delightfully uplifting in the best way possible. Kudos.
Las instrucciones son muy buenas, el patrón muy bien pensado, se hace rápido y queda muy bien
