Great directions. Fun Vest!

I wanted to make a vest to go with some pants I wanted to make. I ended up making this vest out of a Ponte with a jersey lining. It is surprisingly warm. I know it is written for wovens, but it worked just fine with some moderate stretch fabric. The directions were easy to understand and I didn’t have to make any adjustments.
