Nomad Utility Vest — PDF Sewing Pattern

$22.00

Built for layering, the Nomad Utility Vest is a roomy, relaxed-fit vest with low armholes, a tie closure, and a hem that scoops slightly lower in the back. Bound edges let you pair a structured outer fabric with a cozy contrast lining — wear it over a chunky knit, a flannel shirt, or anything you'd reach for on a cold morning.

This pattern is versatile — make it with or without lining; pre-quilted cotton works well for an unlined version. Customize the closure with snaps, toggles, or none at all, and choose a contrast or matching edge binding to make it your own. An extra breast pocket pattern piece is included with purchase. Use a pre-cut and folded bias or cut your own – 1/2” double fold bias recommended.

Sizing:
XS–XXL (For detailed sizing info, see the accordion below.)

The digital download includes:

  • Tiled, layered PDF pattern suitable to be printed on both A4 and US Letter paper, with printing instructions (13 pages)

  • Step-by-step sewing instructions with illustrations, and alteration suggestions to customize your fit (13 pages)

  • Bonus breast pocket pattern, printable on A4 and US Letter paper and sewing instructions (2 pages)

(Download on a computer to unzip and print.)
