Sewing DIY Patchwork & Fleece Vest (free pattern) - use up your fabric scraps



After cutting fabrics, there are always fabric scraps, which accumulated for several months, and eventually there is the container full of fabric scraps, it's time to use up and empty the container for next several months, and also there's no space for another fabric scraps containers, it's best use some up.

So, let's call the use up fabric scraps project.

I cut to square (2 x 2 inches) all warm colours fabric scarps mainly pinkish and redish fabric scarps because pink and white coloured fleece is used for vest.
 connect those squares to bigger than patterns of vest back and two pockets.

Heart shaped pockets made a feature of front vest, and cute!

Be noted: snap buttons - I needed a bit bigger buttons because of a thick fabric, and I did not bother to go and buy them, and end up using what I have at home. 
I have to be carefull whenever opening snap buttons, otherwise snap button might fall out. Luckly I often wear vest front open without buttons up is work for me okay.

DIY Cat Harness & Leash Set and Pattern

Image
I have made an harness jacket for my cat. I let him play without any lease or harness on back garden, but if we need to play at front garden, or go to camping, some harnesses and leash set needed.  Harness jacket vest area finished with hook and loop tape which is adjustable to cat's vest size, so it will fit on him even though he put on weights. I thought to use hook and loop tape for neck of harness jacket but it might make neck strap too thick and uncomfortable for cat to move his head. So I ended up using slide plastic buckle. Because I made harness jacket with cute cat designed cotton fabric, my cat can wear as jacket as well without a leash. Preparation: Cotton fabric for inner, outer, and buckle straps, batting, 10mm buckle clip, 10m triglide adjustable buckle 1, D ring 1, snap hook 1, poly strap 2m Strap measurement for buckles - width 4 times of the buckle glide hole size, and length 4.25 inches for the short one and 7.75 inches for the long one. Strap material : as per
