2010 State Fashion Revue Challenge Pattern is SIMPLICITY VEST
#4762
Start with Simplicity pattern #4762. Make an inVESTment in your future wardrobe with this year’s challenge. Sew a lined vest, but don’t forget to spice it up. It could be reversible, have pockets, frills or whatever fits your style. The possibilities for per-sonalization are endless! You can make it shorter or longer, add trim or appliqués, and experiment with fabrics, colors or details. To alter the pattern for girls, move the buttons to the left side. If needed, add back darts or use the cinch and enlarge the front darts. Purchase or sew an outfit to coordinate with your vest.
Happy Stitching!

Fashion Revue will be available soon.
