Girls waistcoat button front vest

This digital sewing pattern creates a classic girls waistcoat with a button front closure, a sleeveless fit and tailored front points. The shape follows traditional waistcoat lines, making it a smart layering piece for children who need something a little more polished than a cardigan, and an easy addition to a growing kids wardrobe.

The design works with a wide range of woven fabrics, including linen, cotton, cotton twill, lightweight denim, corduroy and wool blends. A plaid or checked fabric gives the vest a more traditional look, while plain cotton keeps it simple and school friendly. Wear it over a shirt or blouse for school outfits and special occasions, or use it as an everyday layer in cooler weather.

Sizes run from 2Y to 12Y (2Y, 3Y, 4Y, 5Y, 6Y, 7Y, 8Y, 10Y, 12Y). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on A4 and US Letter paper, and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. Each size is a separate file, so you print only the size you need.
