If you're currently in the midst of winter then you will know that being cosy is the main priority right now! Added layers are always helpful, and after seeing some really cute fleece vests on Pinterest, I decided I needed one in my me made wardrobe to throw-on when it's extra chilly. Using the Ilford Jacket Pattern as a base, I have put together a sewing hack to show you how to make your own fleece vest, with added blanket stitch detailing. It's a really easy sew, so let's get stuck in and get making.
