Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Christina from 2 Little Hooligans shares a tutorial at Project Run and Play showing how to make a child’s hooded vest. The sleeveless jacket is perfect for winter layering! You can use quilted fabric to add extra warmth, or you can just insert some batting or fleece between the outer layer and the lining. Get the how-to.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
Cute vest. Too bad it’s such a pain to download the vest pattern. I’ll look elsewhere for a pattern.
same trouble as Lisa. Can’t seem to download the pattern. Frustrating as a very nice looking vest 🙁
I originally posted this link last year. After reading your comments, I went back and retested the link. You’re right – the file won’t download. It looks as if the file has been removed. 🙁 Luckily, she does include a photo of all the pieces cut out. It’s not the same as an actual pattern, but perhaps you could use that photo as a guide to draw a pattern yourself? Good luck. –Anne
