Fabulous pattern. Clear instructions and fun to make. Was able to use odd scraps from previous projects to make the vest so this was a bonus. Love the finished vest - looks really good on 1 year old grandson but he’s not here at moment to model it.
Made a crossroads/pathfinder in newborn size for my imminent arrival - it's adorable and I can't wait to make her many more ❤ great instructions but definitely follow them to a T if you're new to clothing like me!
I can honestly say these patterns are the best. I think you kind of connect with patterns. I have friends who love some patterns but I just dont like using them . But all the twig and tale patterns just inspire me so much. Thank you for all of your patterns xx
I bought this pattern initially to make Halloween costumes for my children. They continue to wear them as an extra layer - especially to Forest School, where they really "get into character". Thank you! The pattern assembled simply and beautifully without any fuss.
My mom made my 2 year old son the Dragon Vest. The only thing we would change is the hood size. It was a little small and kept falling off. Otherwise we absolutely love how it turned out! We had a lot of people asking us where we got it.
She said the pattern was a little tricky but she just retired and has re-discovered sewing so maybe that was why. She is excited to make another vest soon.
It’s so adorable and the options are endless. Beautiful, thorough instructions.
Great pattern, easy to follow instructions. Will be making more.
This is such a sweet pattern! I made the regular front, but definitely want to make the crossover front next time! It was a pretty quick sew, and the instructions are great! I love making my daughter T&T clothing, they make me look like I’m a much better sewer than I am AND the product always looks so professional and CUTE! I have many more of these planned for her fall and winter wardrobe! 😍
