Altering Patterns for Quilted & Patchwork Clothing
Although Chloe didn’t make a quilted or patchwork vest for her husband, some of the tips she gives for changing the basic pattern to fit a particular idea, size, or amount of fabric on hand should help if you want to be creative in your sewing.
Check out her post, Altering Vest Patterns, at Tangled Thread.
At one time in my quiltmaking career, I designed and made quilted, appliqued vests for children. I sold these individually, as well as supplied them to stores throughout the country. I learned to alter patterns and designs to create original vests and to make them on order for customers.
Learning to apply your own creative ideas to basic patterns can be great fun.
