Ready To Sew - PDF Sewing Pattern - Hendrix vest
The Ready To Sew Hendrix Vest PDF Sewing Pattern is a relaxed, versatile sleeveless vest with an effortless fit, wide armholes and two oversized front patch pockets. Designed as an easy-to-wear layering piece, Hendrix works beautifully across a range of fabrics, from sturdy denim and corduroy to wool, canvas and quilted cotton.
The relaxed silhouette makes Hendrix easy to style and customise. Wear it over a boxy T-shirt, chunky sweater or hoodie, or size up for an even more oversized look. Choose corduroy for a retro grandad-style vest, denim for a more utilitarian feel, or cotton gabardine for a clean, understated finish.
With beginner-friendly construction and a choice of standard and plus sizes, Hendrix is a great sewing project for anyone looking to make a practical, statement-making wardrobe staple.
As a digital sewing pattern, your files are available to download instantly after purchase. The pattern includes layered A4, US Letter and A0 files, as well as a projector-friendly format, making it suitable for a range of home sewing and digital pattern setups.
