Amazon.com Review
As a bridge between apparently incompatible items of clothing, a colorfully patterned vest can enable you to wear that blouse that never seemed to go with anything, or it can hide that waistband you hate. The pieced and applique variations of this simple but nicely presented book range from the country-quilt look to sophisticated, along with good specifics on color selection, piecing techniques, and embellishments. The 16-page, full-color gallery of vests contains clear photos of 31 vests, 14 of which are accompanied by specific directions. There are also 13 pages of reduced-size, pieced-block designs and, as an extra bonus, an actual tear-out, full-size vest pattern with cutting lines ranging for sizes petite through extra-large.

Vest review! January 7, 2009
I was very happy to locate a copy of this book. There is a newer version out but this book has the pattern that I was looking for - which for some reason was eliminated in the newer version. I love this book!

I bought this book to use in a class on paper piecing. It's a good intro to paper piecing and the vests are great. There are three major pattern styles--but endless possibilities. I made my Mom's birthday vest from the pattern in this book, and I made a sewing vest for myself out of quilt scraps. These are art vests and if you don't wear vests--they look great hung on the wall too. Carol Doak is clear and accurrate and she doesn't leave out any of the steps. Vests, paper piecing, a creative jumpstart--are all here--what more could you want? Mary Z. Cox the accidental quilter

Another of my cherished Foundation piecing books - my second Carol Doak one. What a lovely selection to choose from. I hope vests don't go out of fashion too soon. These are all very special. Vest patterns in a number of sizings and styles are included but the techniques can be used on any pattern you have. Well worth having.
