Gertrude Gilet PDF digital download sewing pattern by Sewgirl to make a snug little essential item for your wardrobe.
This is a perfect body warmer, either a button up v-neck gilet or a round neck Tabard top, great for wearing over t-shirts and layering under jackets for extra cosiness. This is the perfect garment for in-between seasons when you aren't too sure whether to wrap up or keep cool.
The pattern size range incudes all sizes from UK 8-24 (US 6-22).
Skill level: Easy some previous experience attaching binding and making buttonholes is an advantage although not essential.
Gertrude Gilet is suitable to be made up in cuddly knitted Boucle or 'Poodle' fabrics, Teddy Sherpa fleece or Curly sheep fabrics*, alternatively woven fabrics are also suitable with or without a lining. If using a woven fabric aim for a slightly heavier weight and a double sided fabric is preferable. I recommend using bought binding when using woven fabric, with stretch fabrics its best to use self-made binding cut across the horizontal width of the fabric. All instructions are included in the pattern.
* a walking foot machine attachment may be required when using thicker pile fabrics.
Please note that all instructions are in English only with metric and imperial measurements.
