Sharing another make from (ahem!) last Winter today…I wanted to experiment with the Women’s Hero Vest pattern and some different fabrics so pulled some thick and stretch grey velour from my stash to have a play with. French terry knits and flannel have been my fabrics of choice for Women’s Hero Vests to date but I had a vision for this one in my head and wanted to see how these fabrics would work together.
The exterior is a thick and luscious European velour knit. It feels amazing and is snug and warm. For the lining I wanted to add hint of floral – something bright and perhaps a bit unexpected. I used an Art Gallery knit – Priory Square, Cottagely Posy in emerald and love the contrast it gives to the plain exterior. Because the velour was so thick I didn’t need any more layers for warmth.
Because I was going for a fun look with this vest, I finished off with some dusty pink ribbing for all of the binding and waistband.
And there’s not much about the Women’s Hero Vest to add that I haven’t said before! Love this one 🙂
