At our cottage land, it gets chilly - sometimes I REALLY only need to layer my core, but I was lacking a fleece vest (and was jealous of the 5 out of 4 Halftime Hoodie I made into a sleeveless version for Husband)
So 5 out of 4 to my outdoor wear rescue yet again!
I found the Aspen Fleece vest pattern, and had just purchased some stretch fleece for a jacket I was making, and just happened to have an extra meter of fabric.
So I paired it with some stretchy thick knit black and neon pink fabric for the lining, and have the most awesome core-warming vest for working outside at our cottage land.

It was perfect timing as the fall weather was a hit and miss, and we no longer had to wear bug jackets or rain coats.
I opted for a full zip and regular unzipped side pockets.
The zipper instructions were easy to follow, as were all other instructions as normal with Jessica's patterns.
I really like the amount of pieces in the vest, as that meant I could scrapbust a few pieces in and get the most out of my fabric.
The high collar is really a bonus, as it keeps my neck warm while outside with just a hat on - once in awhile it's nice *not* to have a hood on something (rarely...but If I could have hoods, thumbhole cuffs, and pockets on everything I made, I would!).
But that doesn't stop me from wearing a hoodie tank top underneath!
So for the Spring, Fall, and Winter, this is another outdoor staple I will eventually wear out, thus will make a back up with the different pocket options for versatility!
And because I can.
Grab your Aspen Vest pattern, as I highly recommend it for your outdoor stylish wardrobe!
