Zoom

Taught by Daryl Lancaster

Course Overview

Dust off your sewing machine and jumpstart your skills. This simple lined vest is custom fit to look great, feel good, and teach you some of the basics of garment construction. Great for handweavers, felters and surface designers, this vest looks great in all fabrics. The design is based on the 500 vest from the Daryl Lancaster Pattern Collection. The armbands are optional, and the armhole is square for a more flexible fit. There is a shawl collar option for more advanced participants. There are also two different fronts, front A has no darts, and front B has a horizontal bust dart. Note: This is a two day class. It is expected that participants will need to continue construction of this vest, beyond the length of the class. There are YouTube videos that explain each of the steps of construction, to help participants finish independently. The optional shawl collar and bound buttonholes will take much more time than the class allows. They would be options for the more experienced participants.

All participants should refer to these Workshop Instructions

Maximum number of participants: 10

Student Requirements

All levels are welcome but some knowledge of the sewing machine is expected.
