Sleeveless Jacket (Vest)
TSB-111

A great beginner pattern!
Practice those needlecraft skills!

            Ladies of the 1860’s used vests to show off their stitchery skills often spending hours on intricate detail and designs.  Vests were worn over a simple skirt and body to complete the outfit or under open front jackets such as the Zouave.  Vests  were not only made of  the same fabric as a skirt and jacket , but were often made in a complimentary color to match the trim.  This pattern offers a simple sleeveless jacket.  It is joined in the front with loops and buttons or optional braid frogs can be used. This garment is not as form fitting as some vests and thus easy to fit. This is a great beginner pattern and a good garment to practice those braid work or handiwork skill on.  The pattern requires just a yard of fabric so is reasonable for some of those expensive brocades and velvets we all would love to own.          

Sizing:  
            The pattern includes four general sizes: Small, Medium, Large and X-large.

Complimentary Patterns:
            This is a great pattern to go under Timeless Stitches Zouave Jacket TSB-105 and over Timeless Stitches pattern TSB-120 Tucked Body. The Sleeveless Jacket can be combined with any of the Timeless Stitches skirt patterns (try TSS-103 The Gored Skirt) to make a very comfortable outfit, add a short cape (Timeless Stitches TSO-401 Multi-length Cape) for a complete look.
