Best of 2024: Wildwood Vest

The Wildwood Jacket and Vest is the ultimate quilted garment pattern. Learn how to sandwich layers of fabric and batting together to create a lovely quilted textile that you transform into a cosy and versatile layering piece.

Wildwood features unique overlapping shoulder and side seams, making it an easy pattern to adjust for your preferred fit. The edges are bound with bias tape that can be sewn in a contrast fabric for an outlining effect. Roomy patch pockets are the perfect size and shape, and Wildwood closes in the front using snaps. This is a medium-weight jacket or vest that is perfect for transitional seasons and layering. The Wildwood pattern includes three length options for both the vest and the jacket: high-hip, low-hip, and mid-thigh.

• Walnut Shetland Flannel - Our favorite flannel is back this month, this time in a delicious, deep brown color.
