You may not have time to make yourself a special gift right now, but this is the time to purchase the materials, because they're on sale now.
Here's Louise's vest, which provides the ideas for a project, and the pattern she used:
This pattern is on sale until 8 p.m. Eastern on Friday, December 10.
I can also imagine applying the same techniques to a different vest or a jacket of your choice. Feel free to improvise. You can learn all about how to create this look and use the same techniques Louise used. See the Home Page for tips about her design outlook, then consult our Stitch to Style blog for step-by-step instructions on how to create the appliques and the faux sashiko stitching she used. The 2 most recent blogs will give you all the information you need.
In the meantime, choose your fabrics while they remain on sale until 8 p.m. Eastern on Friday, December 10.
Here are the fabrics that will make your vest:

FACEBOOK FORUM
So many of you have joined us for fun and learning on the Facebook Forum. However, many of you who have said you want to join have not answered the 3 sewing-related questions. We'd love to have each of you be able to get in, but that can't happen if you haven't answered the questions. Please be sure to answer, because we'd like to know each of you.
SAMPLES
Please confine your sample requests to 3 per order. That allows us to give you the same prompt service you are used to. Also, remember that if you ask for a sample of a fabric that's on sale, the sale may be over before the sample gets to you through the mail.
A REMINDER
If you are searching for a specific fabric on the website and you know the number of it, be sure to put a 5-digit number in the search box. Examples: 00532 or 01379. You don't need to include the letters (FF) with the numbers.
SHIPPING
We want to assure you that we fill all your orders and ship them quickly. It seems that there are some delays with mail service at this time, both within the country and to other countries, so it may take a bit longer than usual for your orders to reach you. However, we are doing our part to send them promptly.
 By the way, we've heard that a few of you have thought that you had to have a PayPal account to order from us online. That's not the case. Even though you'll see "Check out with PayPal" on one of the order pages, just click on it to go to the next page. You'll see that you can choose whatever credit card you would like to use.
