Baby Vest Pattern Instructions
Cut out your pattern pieces from the fur and the lining.
Pin the fronts to the backs and sew them together.
Then, with right sides together, sew the lining to the fur.
Brush the fur to the middle before you pin, to keep as much of it out of the seam as possible.
Slip the ribbon pieces into the side seams before you pin.
Sew all the way around, leaving the shoulders open. Also, leave a 3-4″ opening on the bottom back edge for turning. Trim and turn.
Then, sew the shoulder seams together.
Fold over the lining at the bottom opening and stitch it closed by hand.
P.S. It’s the first day of KCWC! What are you working on today??
Oh my goodness, sooo adorable! You make the CUTEST things, Kate!
I love it! I made Abbey a faux fur vest when she was a baby people (ahem my husband) thought I was crazy but she was so stylin’ and cozy looking in her faux fur vest and ugg boots, I loved it.
what!!! this is adorable.
LOVE this! I had a baby girl in June. This would be SO cute!
Your little girl is going to be so stylin’. This is so fun.
I love this. So adorable.
I love it!!! It looks soooo cute! Just curious how you determined the size for the pattern. Can you share how you draft your patterns? I was impressed at your skills during PR&P because I wouldn’t have been able to determine my son’s size from scratch…anyway, great job on the little vets, it’s really darling!

I love this! My daughter is dying for a fur vest and I don’t want to pay $25-$30 dollars for one.
Kate, this is so cute…I just cut out a vest for Grace night before last but it’s not fur!!! Now I might have to make her another one!

oh my goodness Kate – it isn’t even fair how cute this is! I was just thinking that my kids needed faux fur vests too, but wasn’t sure if it was too much. Now I know, definitely perfect for the little ones. LOVE this!!!

Absolutely darling, Kate!

Wildly Original Linky party is open!
Adorable! I’m glad I’m not the only one making things for a baby girl on the way out of faux fur :) My family thinks I’m silly for wanting to make things trimmed in faux fur for a newborn but I think it’s adorable lol and perfect for a little girl due in time for Christmas! I think I may have to try a fur vest it should be at the coldest part of the year here in Oregon by the time she’s ready to fit in it :)

This is soooo adorable!!! Shame my baby is a boy….. unless I work out how to upgrade the pattern for my 2 year old for next winter…. hmm…. this is just too cute not to try!
lmao, okay, here’s the thing. Every time you post something ridiculously adorable like this, I get super excited BECAUSE I HAVE A BABY AND … oh, wait, it’s a boy baby. It makes me laugh at myself because I do it EVERY TIME. After two girls my brain is stuck in girl-baby mode. I also keep saying things like “Hey mom, the girls and I will be right over.” “Oh, Jackson’s staying home by himself, is he? ;)”
Ahhhh!!! I love this! I might have to make one for myself!
My co-worker snagged one of these for my daughter from H&M and I have to admit.. it’s stinkin’ adorable! You totally have to revisit these girly posts when the LO is big enough to model :)
Cutest. vest. EVER!
This reminds me so much of our pattern: http://figgyspatterns.com/patterns/lux-vest/
It’s very cute.
This is so cute! And so funny, becuase…. Recently I was given a bunch of furry fabric and I have been wanting to makethis exact project for me! :) I also want to make something with a furry peter pan collar for me! This is adorable and I’m sure it will look much cuter on her than it will look on me!
just printed and cut the pattern – I’m attempting to scale it up for a 6-9ish month size (I have the LONGEST baby in the world) – crossing my fingers, I’m off to go cut the fabric!
hahaha – so I ended up making two, I didn’t size up enough the first time ;op Super cute though!!!
so freaking cute!!
