Pathfinder Vest Sewing Pattern - Women's/Curved Fit

Great pattern

Found the pattern super easy to follow. Made one for my best friend who loves it.

FINALLY I successfully graded between sizes for princess seams!

I am super pear shaped and have gotten pretty good at grading up several sizes between my upper bust and hips. But I haven't quite been able to tackle the multiple adjustments needed for princess seaming--until now! I went from a size I in the upper bust, to a size M in the hips. I followed the directions in the pattern and love how it turned out. I'm also tall (5'9") so I successfully lengthened the vest too by 2 inches! I love, love, love the pixie hood and the ability to offset the button front. I also added piping to the princess seams and used my new sewing machine to do some decorative stitching on the kangaroo pockets. It will be a wonderful canvas to try out some machine embroidery in the near future. I bought the animal add-on and look forward to making me a hooded vest with either cat ears or Dino spikes (and yes...I'm a 60 year old lady, no grandkids in sight, and I will totally rock this when I make it!).

Easy and fun make

Used some vintage corduroy and polyester for lining. Very detailed and easy to understand instructions. It was very loose fitting so I did end up taking it in quite a bit.. overall A+
