Such a wonderful vest

I made this great pattern out of an Art Gallery cotton and gingham lining from Stylemaker Fabrics. I am 5'3" and cut the pattern as a 8 C/D bust, 6 waist and 2 hip. The only change I made was to take in the front princess seam slightly from the bust to hip to make it a little more fitted. I stitched down the pocket flaps by machine as I tend to jam my hands into my pockets when they are cold.
This pattern was beautifully drafted, the directions are clear and the video was very helpful. I am not a quilter so I never would have quilted the lines with a larger stitch, nor would I have known to keep the batting away from the front seams. The Dritz heavy duty snaps went on easily.
This is definitely worth making!!!

Nice vest

I made the Murcot vest from a RK printed blush cotton -linen and obtained great results. The vest will be a third layer in Spring and fall. As a tall gal, I lengthened the vest 2”. Another modification was a little ruffle around the collar. I changed the collar to be shorter in length and width so my forward posture would not be accentuated. The sandwich layer is a nice quality Dream bamboo batting. The lining is the same cotton linen blend as the outer layer. I installed 5/8” heavy duty antique brass snaps to close the vest.
The pattern is well drafted, all notches line up well. The video tutorial was very helpful as an adjunct to the well written printed instructions. I prefer line drawings to photos, and this did not disappoint. It was difficult to choose between the two nice quilting suggestions, I ultimately chose the straight but angles line variation.

Love it

Made mine out of a cute strawberry print. It was wasy to make and fit so well. I am very happy with mine. Thanks Cashmerette for creating this pattern.

Brilliant…instructions were easy to follow

I am new to garment sewing. This is my fourth garment, and the first garment that isn’t a concord t-shirt.

I had the confidence to stitch this jacket as the techniques were so similar to the bag making and quilting techniques I am already familiar with, additionally there was a sew along to refer to when I wasn’t sure what the pattern was asking for.

I would say it is a really good transitional pattern if you are a bag maker wanting to try clothes. My advice would be to avoid buying cheap wadding as the thickness made mine more difficult to sew than it needed to be. Just got to add the hardware

Love the Murcot!

I love this vest! I want to make another, but it’s hot out… Next fall! And using this pattern, I have added the same pockets to a dress!

Perfect fit !

I made three jackets out of the pattern using Jen‘s instructions and arm pattern of the Kimball. I lowered the bust point according to the instructions in Jenny’s book AOTC and lengthened the arm pattern. I’m very pleased how the three jackets came out. To make it easy going I used stepped fabric instead of stepping it myself. I really love Cashmerette pattern. They changed my life. Thank you Jenny and the Cashmerette team!

This is the perfect layering piece!

I have wanted a puffer vest for a long time, but I was so afraid that it would make me look like a little pincushion. The Murcot absolutely does not. It has just enough room to close comfortably, but I think the gathered shoulder enhances the fit so much be a use it doesn't stick out.
It feels light and easy, and just warm enough for the late winter/early spring weather.
The pockets are so deep and the welt reinforces them so they don't feel the least bit flimsy. I don't usually carry a bag, so pocket size is important to me, and I can keep my phone and keys and sunglasses and hands inside very comfortably.
I love learning new skills, and this vest had a couple. I had never done this type of quilting before, and the sewalong really helped me to see how things needed to go together. I even took the plunge to learn installing four-part snaps, so worth it!
I cannot say enough how much I loved this vest.

Super

I have done 2 Murcot Vest
The first time I had a problem with the pocket, so I cut a new front piece and I decided to do it without pocket.
I used zipper instead of buttons.
