Trailblazer Vest Sewing Pattern - Women's/Curved Fit

Amazing Pattern that I'll keep coming back to!

This is the second time I've sewn this pattern now and I've loved both results, they're high quality and don't have that 'homemade' look to them at all. I've also used the chat function here to have some question answered and have found the twig and tale team super kind and helpful. There are two notes I'd give, if, like me you read through the comments before buying/sewing: 1) It doesn't say this in the instructions, but cut your lining bigger than the main, especially if you're using heavy wool like I did with a thin lining. I got lucky on my first one but with this one despite stay stitching, the lining seemed too small and is pulling on the outside fabric a bit. Not the patterns fault obviously but I don't have a lot of experience lining garments and hoped it would help someone else. 2) The pockets on this are small. Like I can barely fit my phone in small. On the second one I modified the pattern a bit to give myself more room and it's much better now. So if you rely on vest pockets consider doing that or maybe even buying the cute patch pocket set here and adding one of those. I'm a pocket girl and I need to at least fit my phone. All in all I adore this pattern and am about to buy the male version to make one for my husband too as he's very jealous of me and my mum. Thanks Twig and Tale for such quality work!

made it easy to learn!

No hip adjustment finally

Only had to adjust height to shorten and thanks to the exact measurement to adjust for inch reduction I finally didn’t have to guess. I also learned how to adjust a zipper. Loved the pattern and it fits perfectly!
