I Am Patterns Hathor Vest (Beginner)

I am Hathor, a timeless sleeveless vest with 18 versions to choose from. Combine one of my three neckline options, three pocket options, and two closure methods to make the perfect gilet to fit your needs. I am fully lined and fasten with either press studs or a zip. I have a choice of a simple rounded neckline, a stand-up collar or a hood. I can be sewn with patch pockets, welt pockets or without pockets. I am the perfect sleeveless jacket to slip under a coat in very cold weather, as a mid-season jacket, or as a casual throw-on for cool summer evenings. Depending on fabric used, I can accompany you to town, on your rural walks, and keep you warm on your run. In short, I am perfect for all seasons, and fit into a long-lasting wardrobe.
