This is the last make from the May retreat. It's a free pattern from Purl Soho for a quilted vest. I bought the cosy sherpa at Pour l'Amour du Fil and the Liberty bias binding was from Ecolaines in Rennes. I just used one layer of fabric and overlocked the edges. I did seams at the sides and shoulders which I bound with binding. I then bound the armholes and around the gilet. I even remembered to add a label to the back of the gilet.
I hired a new Atelier 6 at the retreat but I struggled to sew this fabric on it even when I used the walking foot. However, I switched to Lizzie's Atelier 6 and that did a lovely job. I'm looking forward to using this as a layering piece in the autumn.
