Digital Pattern + Video Class Trailblazer Vest Sewing Pattern - Men's/Straight Fit

This is a really great pattern. The instructions are clear and detailed and the pattern has a nice fit and good looking details. I did make one change to instructions, which was to add the wind flap prior to adding the lining since I preferred not to sew onto the lining from the outside. I look forward to making more Twig and Tale patterns in the future.

Excellent pattern and great fit. Directions were clear. Professional look when finished. I made the vest out of softshell with a quilted lining. I added reflective trim to the main seams. The only modification I made was to move the lining opening to an inner side seam. I’ll be making more for my other grandchildren.

I'm fairly new to sewing but trying to learn and this was a good pattern for my level. The instructions - but in written form and complemented by the videos - were a big help. I also did the inner pocket from the extra, bonus instructions. I like that you recommend fabrics also - that was very helpful. I went with a Sherpa lining from your suggestion :)

This is the second adult Trailblazer that I've made this year and they have me wondering why I waited so long to make this garment.
They are the perfect layering piece. The zip front and high collar keep you warm and cosy whilst being sleeveless means no bulky coat.
It is a wonderful blank canvas, I added extra internal pockets to this make.
Brilliant, easy to follow instructions with useful videos

The instructions and the pattern were great and I love the result - I used an African cotton fabric to makes this waistcoat. The only thing which I really missed were fully opened pattern pieces for the projector file, mainly for the center back piece. Especially if you make a puffer vest, you cannot cut on the fold. I solved the problem by cutting the lining first and then using the lining piece as example for the cut of the puffer center back piece. But this possibility wasn't described in the instructions and would not have been necessary with a full projector file in which pieces are usually presented opened when they need to be cut on fold and mirrored when they need to be cut twice.

I used this pattern to make my son’s hockey jersey’s into vests. It worked great the sizes were spot on! I loved how it had all the various options!

I made it twice with the first one being his childhood jerseys and then went to the NHL jersey. Perfect results both times!

My sister requested a reflective gilet (vest) to wear when she’s out running in the dark. She will be a trail “blazer” in this, it reflects even without car headlights on it! Can’t wait to make more of this pattern in a variety of fabrics.

This is the first pattern I have purchased from Twig + Tale. I am 100% impressed. Print at home PDF went together just perfect. I like having the option to drill down to just one size. The instructions were spot on - this is the first lined garment I have sewn that I didn't have great difficulty with the lining. This one came out really nice without any frustrations. The outer is fleece and lining flannel. I put in the optional inside pocket which my husband thought was awesome. Love the way it was sewn in. This pocket left a perfect place for me to put my handmade label on. Size measurements were really good - I picked the correct size the first time. I also really appreciate the inspiring ideas within the pattern. I can't wait to make the next one!

Lovely design and wonderful seeing instructions. I loved seeing this best so much that I made two. Thank you!

Experienced leather maker but just getting into garment sewing. The pattern was straight forward and easy to follow. Any questions I had were quickly solved by an email response. Great pattern and great vest, I already have another in the making and plan on several more for Christmas presents. I used magnetic snaps for closing the wind guard.
