Lil Tux from Sewing Pattern Secrets

We love this Vest Sewing Pattern because it is so versitile!  It is part 1 of 2 vest patterns on the same PDF file.  The other is the Western Vest.  More on Western Vest later. This two-in-one pattern file is just one of our growing library of over 125 sewing patterns offered exclusively on our pattern library for the one-time price of $67.  See our offer here.

Both costumes are quick and easy, but they are also high quality vests which are great for back to school, school photos, holidays and events.

You WILL save money on this sewing project.  Fabric requirements are small and the project is rewarding!

Margie Vaudreuil

Hi! My name is Margie, and my number one passion is sewing. In fact, I’ve dedicated a big part of my life to mastering it and teaching it to others. When I was a little girl, I loved watching my mother at her sewing machine. She could make anything—it felt like magic. She created clothes for our whole family, and that left a lasting impression on me. Today, I carry that same spirit forward through my own work—designing, sewing, and teaching others the techniques that truly elevate their skills. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than helping someone go from “just getting by” to feeling confident and capable in their sewing. Thank you so much for being here. If you ever want to reach out, I’d truly love to hear from you. Enjoy! Margie
