Which fabrics for your vest?

The vest is made with two fabrics: a main fabric for the outside and a lighter one for the lining.

For the outer fabric

The choice of material gives your vest all its character. You can use in particular:

• boiled wool
• wool
• sherpa or teddy fabric
• faux fur
• velvet
• quilted fabric
• jacquard

That way you can make a warm, cosy vest for autumn and winter, or choose a lighter material for a vest that is easy to wear in mid-season.

For the lining

For the inside, go for a lighter and more comfortable fabric, such as cotton poplin. Plain, printed, floral, graphic… the lining is also your chance to play with colour and pattern and to personalise your vest right down to the last detail.

How much fabric do you need?

You will need one fabric for the outside and one for the lining, in 150 cm (59 in) width.

Size XS:
• Outer fabric: 65 cm (3/4 yd)
• Lining: 65 cm (3/4 yd)

Size 3XL:
• Outer fabric: 150 cm (1 3/4 yd)
• Lining: 150 cm (1 3/4 yd)

The full fabric requirements for every size are in the ebook included with the pattern.

A step-by-step video tutorial

No need to start out on your own with a pattern!

A complete video tutorial for the adult Roquefort vest is available to guide you through the sewing. I show you every stage of the making, from preparing the different pieces to the final touches. You can go at your own pace, pause the video and watch a step again as often as you need.

The video is in French. YouTube can display translated subtitles, and automatic dubbing is available on many videos: use the gear icon in the player.

It is a particularly enjoyable project if you are looking for an accessible adult sewing pattern, with visual explanations to help you along.

Also available for children

The same shepherd's vest exists in a child version, from 6 months to 14 years.

And if you want to sew for the whole family, the Roquefort Vest Duo brings both patterns together at a better price.
