Sewing Level: Confident Beginner
The Ruby Vest works with a wide variety of woven fabrics, making it a great pattern for experimenting with different textures, weights and combinations. Cotton and linen fabrics between approximately 3–7 oz per square yard are particularly suitable.
- Quilting cotton
- Light to medium-weight cotton
- Linen
- Flannel
- Sherpa
- Pre-quilted fabric
- Other suitable woven fabrics
For a reversible vest, consider combining two contrasting or complementary fabrics to create a different look on each side. Knit fabrics with a lot of stretch are not recommended.
To complete the Ruby Vest you will need:
- Main fabric
- Contrast or coordinating fabric for the reversible side
- Fastening of your choice, such as ties, toggles or buttons
- Thread
- Optional quilting materials
- Sewing machine
- Iron
- Fabric scissors
Note: If making your own bias binding, avoid using heavier fabrics as they can make the construction more difficult.
