This original pattern was written by me (Katy)! I designed this vest for my son but it’s also perfect for girls. For this pattern you will need basic pattern reading skills. I tried to keep it simple with only basic stitches so it would make a great beginner project.

The pattern comes with the option of sewing on a zipper or buttons. I have included a simple tutorial on how to do the zipper. It’s not as hard as you might think if you’d never tried it before.
