Pintucked flannel vest tutorial on SewStylish

June 8, 2010, Nik

Come on, admit it: You’ve got an old flannel shirt in your closet collecting dust right now. Well, shake it off and get sewing—turn that shirt into a cute vest. On the SewStylish blog, I’ll show you how to do it. I cut the collar and the sleeves off of the shirt below, created new patch pockets, and added rows of pretty tucks to take in the extra bulk.

    This vest is perfect for our trips to Vermont! I think I can do it. I’m going to give it a try!
