The Leo Vest | PDF Sewing Pattern
$20.00
The Leo Vest is a feminine, chic layering piece designed for effortless dressing up or down. Featuring princess seams at the front and back, a relaxed waist, and a clean crew neckline, this fully lined vest creates a flattering, softly tailored silhouette. The hem includes a centre-front split opening extending from the buttons to the hem.
This pattern includes two views:
View A — buttons fully down the front for a relaxed silhouette.
View B — three buttons with waist ties for adjustable shaping.
Techniques used in this pattern:
Sewing princess seams
Applying a lining using the bagging method
Installing buttons and buttonholes
This pattern is best suited to intermediate sewists, but confident beginners looking to build their garment construction skills will also find it an achievable and rewarding project.
This pattern includes sizes A–G, based on the Ashlee Cerros Patterns size chart. Rather than using standard ready-to-wear sizing, each size has been developed using my own measurement chart to provide a consistent fit across my patterns.
Please refer to the Size Chart and Finished Garment Measurements on the page below to determine your recommended size before purchasing.
