[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_single_image image=”11080″ img_size=”full” alignment=””][vc_column_text]Note: the white represents the right side of the fabric and the brown is the wrong side of the fabric. All seam allowances are 1/2″ unless otherwise stated. A walking or even feed foot can be useful for sewing over bulky seams.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]You will need to assemble the pattern.  For instructions on how to assemble the pattern click here. Cut two mirror images of the tummy panel. With wrong side of tummy panel facing right side of front, pin the panel in place 1″ away from the front center edge. Place it so that there is equal amounts of space below and above the tummy piece and that both sides match. Stitch around all the edges with a straight stitch or zigzag. Continue assembling the vest according to the general instructions HERE.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
