WELL, THIS WAS A SURPRISE
             
                        9 Lives pattern

Louise ran across a box in the warehouse the other day and---what a surprise!  We had 75 copies of this pattern, and they are the original paper patterns.  So of course, we wanted to get them up on the website and let you know right away.  

One thing I love about this pattern is that you can wear it as a vest over a top or tee, but it's also great worn on its own.  It's asymmetrical, so it has an interesting character, and you can make it out of a variety of fabrics.  Here are some examples from Louise and me----

Each of us made one right out of the pattern.  I like to wear my blue and white alone in summer--it's made in a lightweight linen so it's comfy in Florida's heat.

Because 9 Lives is a vest, you can obviously wear it as a vest.  But you know Louise: she took things a step further.  Once she had finished her vest and the top to wear under it, she decided she'd like a variation.  She decided to add length, so she made a second piece to attach to her vests.  She measured around the garment and traced the shape of the hem to make a pattern for herself.  Then she pieced the scraps she had left over to form an extension with a straight hem.  Once it was done, she slipped it under the vest, fused it in place with Steam-a-Seam, and stitched through all the layers.  Here's her vest, a hem detail, and the inside story.

And of course she couldn't stop with just one.
