Description
Introducing the versatile cap sleeve vest, a must-have layering garment suitable for all body types. This easy-fitting piece serves multiple purposes, functioning as a vest, jacket, cardigan, blazer, and much more. With its straightforward silhouette, the vest boasts hidden front pockets adorned with sizeable flaps, along with convenient snap buttons for secure closure.
The pattern for this garment offers two options: a lined version and an unlined version, providing flexibility for personal preference and style. Whether you choose to go for the added polish of a lined vest or opt for a simplified approach, sewing this vest is a manageable task. In fact, with a few adjustments, it can effortlessly transition from an intermediate skill level project to an easy one. For instance, you can omit the lining and consider using sew-on snap buttons or even forgo buttons entirely for your initial attempt.
Recommended fabric
Medium weight fabrics, but almost any fabric will work. The fabric used in the images is a heavy weight wool.
