Norwegian/Swedish vest pattern needed

19 years ago

I am looking for a pattern for a traditional Scandinavian vest. It is the type of vest that does not close all the way, but laces up the front with ribbon. I have to wear a costume to my garden club for an international lunch we are having. I made a long black skirt,but I do not sew well enough to make a vest without a pattern. Any Ideas where I might find one. Thanks

I'd buy a size smaller vest, or have a friend 'donate you one' and poke holes along the front with an icepick and thread your ribbons thru for the lacing. I think you can get away with that since it's only a one time thing.

That is a great idea AND a lot less work! I think I will go over to the goodwill and look for an old black vest today! Thanks for the suggestion.
