okay! i HAVE to make the Sherpa vest! When i was in college (i'm 63 years old so that was eons ago! lol!) i had this marvelous white Sherpa vest and jacket. i LOVED that vest and i truly enjoyed wearing it. well somebody stole that vest and i was heartbroken! now, since i started back to sewing, i want to see if i can make this vest again and if it comes out the way i hope it will, it will be a game changer for me. this draft is so easy, i can't go wrong with cutting it. i just ordered some sherpa fabric from JoAnn's (Sherpa for 8.00 per yard!) and i ordered 3 yards. i had to get it while it is on sale. looking forward to doing this endevor and i will be using your method! light a menorah for me! lol!

[@deeleach8300]

I really appreciate your detailed explanation of how to measure and draft a pattern, on this and your other videos! There is really NO standard one size fits all pattern and this has really helped me to create clothes that actually fit.

[@amandarossouw493]

So happy you made this. I'm was so hopping someone would do a vest from scratch.❤️

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Glad it was helpful!

[@suewalsh4216]

It's winter in Australia now and I decided to make myself a vest. I used two layers of polar fleece and added a mandarin collar. Your construction was so easy to follow and I'm super happy with the result. Thank you 😊

[@dianadivadiamond]

It's so good to have you back. You're a Fighter not a quitter. Blessings upon you and keep taking your Vital supplies. Thanks for sharing that idea.ill try it one different material. ❤❤❤❤👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I am so truly sorry to hear that you were not well who wants to be sick these days but thank goodness you are feeling better. I love this video

[@joyscranfield5527]

You make this look SO easy! I want to do similar garment for myself, granddaughter & great-granddaughters! Thank you so much for video, it is much appreciated!

I have been looking for an easy vest design to make a quilted vest and this is going to be perfect. Thank you

[@bev4914]

I love all of your helpful videos on sewing!!!! ☺️

[@julie-laurebernard3278]

Thank you very much for this video ❤ I had a free vest pattern but did not like the bias used in the tutorial. Your tutorial is so much better! 😊

[@pennyc7064]

Very nice! I love the gray fabric vest! I will make one!

[@yvonnelee5766]

Thanks for this wonderful, easy, informative sewing tutorial. I am currently making a vest and your tutorial by far is the best. I tried to make a vest using another method that I saw on KZbin, but my first attempt at it did not go so well, and I ruined my faux fur material that I had to throw it in the trash. I have been sewing for two and half years and I consider myself a advanced beginner or even a beginning intermediate sewer, so I was very frustrated when my first attempt ended up in the trash. Then I watched your video and I use a muslin material first as a test run, and it came out great. Thank you so much, I appreciate and enjoy all your videos.

[@jeanhuang1003]

You are such a great teacher! I am from Taiwan. Love your tutorial.❤

[@jacquelinejacqueline162]

Lisa you videos are sooo encouraging. Thank you.

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Awww, it is so great to hear that - that's what I try to do - to encourage people to sew and have fun with it!

[@carolmsiza7119]

Thank you

[@sonidhull111]

Hey, I love it.. the sherpa one is awesome... Can you please make a video for trench coat as well???? Please

[@l.a.w.79]

OMG, I just asked about a faux fur on your other video LOL

[@LG-dj9qr]

Wonderful project - thank you! Any suggestions on a serger that has jet threading (I think that is what it is called?). I very much liked your serger videos. They were very helpful.

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Hello there, great to hear that you liked the serger vids, I am planning one about a coverstitch machine. Hmmm... Jet air threading - haven't heard of it, but maybe try to look up if there are any reviews online to see if it is worth it and which one is better? That's what I would 😀

[@MaryVargo-du7mz]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. If I am making this for small children, do I still measure 1 inch from the shoulder line and 1 inch down from the shoulder line to make the slanted line for the shoulder. The reason I am asking is because it looks too slanted to me. Thank you!

[@user-zm3lx2oh8s]

Thank you great video to draft a vest pattern. Somehow my vest was much smaller than expected. I am trying again and have one question, how do I place the pattern to cut the back? I just turned the pattern but the curve of the back neck line was not there. I must have cut the pattern wrong. I am sorry that I am not a member. Thank you.

[@sew_So_beautiful]

I've been looking for a pattern to make a simple but feminine long coat from faux fur, about as thick as the fur in your vest demonstration. I haven't been able to find one. Maybe you could help me wjth a question. If I were to use a pattern for a regular wool coat, would it work with faux fur? Would I need to go a size larger to accomodate the thickness of the fur?

[@laurabodine1227]

You breezed by the part where you turn the vest after sewing the arm holes. That is the part I get stuck on. You said to torn it with one of the shoulder seams?

[@valeriepoole1535]

Hi I couldn't see how you turned the it the right way round from the shoulder seams. as you had sewn them together ? Thanks

[@Sylkenwolf]

I want to do this type for Halloween. I have printed material but its not fur. Think it will work? Thanks!

[@sharonkemp3029]

What size needle did you use

[@catsmeWOWdesigns]

Is it possible to make a regular vest from this pattern with cotton fabric?

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Yes.

[@Joy1957K]

How do we calculate the amount of material that we need to use? I am a larger size and I fear that I may not get enough or too much? Can you help?

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Hello, hello :) great question! Make the pattern first and that is the only thing that will tell you how much fabric for sure you will need to get. Because not only the size matters, but also your style preference: how long you would like to have it, if you want to change up the front or any other adjustments. Also, did you see Members Only video about this vest? I talk about fabric buying in it specifically for this project! :)

[@Joy1957K]

@@ThoughtfulCreativity Thank you for your reply. I did assume that the preferences will affect the outcome, but I will look into the Members Only vid. Thanx again for your input 👍😘❤️️🇦🇺
