Easy Reversible Vests

As a bridge between apparently incompatible items of clothing, a colorfully patterned vest can enable you to wear that blouse that never seemed to go with anything, or it can hide that waistband you hate. The pieced and applique variations of this simple but nicely presented book range from the country-quilt look to sophisticated, along with good specifics on color selection, piecing techniques, and embellishments. The 16-page, full-color gallery of vests contains clear photos of 31 vests, 14 of which are accompanied by specific directions. There are also 13 pages of reduced-size, pieced-block designs and, as an extra bonus, an actual tear-out, full-size vest pattern with cutting lines ranging for sizes petite through extra-large.
