Notes	Made in washable wool (30% Wool / 70% Polyester). A straight forward pattern, made in a few hours. But always the same: it seems that every Lekala garment has to get by without any lining… As a full blown seamstress, my opinion is that such a garment needs lining. For this lining I made use of satin, made a pleat in it at the center back. As the front overlaps a lot, I made a 3th buttonhole at the other side of the front, in order to keep this part at it’s spot. The button beneath I did skip, as it's placement according to the pattern would have been too low: at the pattern this spot seems OK, in reality it was not. I also made a welted pocket (in full). I did top stitch all seams (much easier to iron). For this pattern the instructions were OK (usually there is some lack at these). PS The fabric of the blouse I bought at a thrift store. I am happy how this vest turned out, and would advice this pattern.
