Get out you scraps and creativity, this pattern has so many options, you will only be limited by your imagination!
hood, collar, animal add ons, warm layers, light layers, it is all up to you to plan your project, all the instructions are there to help, and with the back up of a facebook chat group, this is an excellent way to learn to sew or build skills!

Fast and fabulous

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
