Sew the ultimate cold-weather layering piece with the free Core Boréal Vest pattern by Core Fabrics, a fully lined zip-up vest packed with thoughtful details. Designed with a comfortable, slightly oversized fit across sizes XXS to 6X, this sleeveless vest features a warm stand-up collar to block chilly winter breezes.
It offers plenty of practical storage, including discreet side-seam pockets, an exterior zippered chest pocket for securing keys or cards, and a handy interior patch pocket. The versatile cut works seamlessly over light tees, chunky turtlenecks, or tucked beneath heavy winter coats for brisk fall walks and everyday errands. You can stitch it in structured midweight wovens like denim, canvas, twill, or corduroy, or lean into maximum texture using fleece, boucle, sherpa, faux fur, or pre-quilted yardage. Choose a cozy textured fabric, prep your zippers, and sew this stylish lined vest for an essential handmade layer you will wear all season!
