This is such a clever design! Very practical for using up leftovers, as you can easily combine two different colours / textures / weights and it will look very intentional. I made this for myself, an adult woman, as a running top. The 2nd largest size fits me perfectly, and I want to make several more! For example a mesh back would be fun with this. The pattern pieces came together nicely, and it was a surprisingly fast project. The instructions are lovingly written and arranged, and I love the little worksheet where you can plan your project by colouring it in and making notes about fabric choices.

The rest vest is a great pattern – geometrically magic and a revelation to sew. The binding is not as tricky as you think and my daughter gave it the thumbs up.

Love love love this pattern! Clever construction makes an interesting shape and those dreaded arm bindings a breeze!
The instructions are clear and thorough with a good dose of humour and the fit is spot on.
My tween loves it and wants another one which makes this mama’s heart happy!

This was the most satisfying make!!! When I looked at the photo I thought it was going to be really hard to make. But it was super easy, beautifully finished and looked like it took a lot more effort than it actually did. Love it!!
