Description

I made this veste using burda patern Men’s Cargo Vest 12/2010 #133, unfortunately this special winter number of burda didnt appeared in Romania so I bought the patter from site. First I was thinking to make it like in burda but then I thought this combination looks much better :-) so the plaid fabric of wool fabrick turn to lining and pockets back sides :-) vest its made of imitation leather.

    I don’t know if you will see this over 3 months later…

    Very nice!

    I am having a problem getting the printed pattern sheets to match up properly. Did you have any problems? I assume you printed on A4 size paper. A thought I am having is that if you did not have problems aligning the printed sheets, then there is some kind of error when printing letter size instead of A4 (I am in the US) even though the pattern is stated as being for both sizes.

      thank you dcsewing! you are right about pattern sheets alignment, its never fit properly, I bought 6 or 7 from site and always had the same problem. I draw continuos line when I copied the pattern, normaly I glue the pattern sheets and then copying again on transparent paper. I think pattern bought from internet are too expensive and not worth buy it. the magazine its less expensive and not work so much with alignment or not matching patterns!
