As always twig and tale have made a beautiful and easy to follow pattern that is unique and customizable. Can't wait to make lots and lots of vests
I am new to sewing and just finished a meadow skirt with pretty good results. That gave me courage to try a path finder vest. I purchased a blanket from our local thrift store and combined it with a delightful lama print for the lining. I had no problems following the instructions, it was a little hard to fit the layers under the foot at times. But I am very pleased with the result.
Now I want to attempt and make another one with a felted wool sweater.
What a wonderful pattern!
Absolutely love the pattern. Easy to follow instructions and the versatility can't be beat. My son wore his fox vest today and received a lot of compliments. I will be making many Pathfinders. :)
I have made 2 of these and I am a beginner, intermediate sewist and LOVE this pattern! Great instructions. I will be making more for Christmas gifts! Lovely and beautiful
A lovely easy to read and easy to follow pattern. So many customisable options allows for no two vests to be the same, and ability to work for both genders.
Also love the idea of recycling fabrics for this project! A wonderful creation for war on waste. Highly recommend!
great pattern easy to follow.
very pleased with results.
Highly recommend this pattern.
My son loves his pathfinder vest and I get so many compliments when he wears it. I added the optional button strip, used the extended length and chose the pixie hood. I love all the options, you can sew a different vest every time! Highly recommended and thank you for a fabulous pattern.
I have made the vest for my granddaughter and found the pattern extremely easy to follow. I sent it to her the other day, as she lives 12 hours south of us and has already worn it. Thank you
