Who brings a fleece vest to a pool party? I do. Yep, that’s the kind of crazy stuff that goes down around here.
It was a princess pool party for a four-year-old birthday girl, and Eli and I wanted to present the lovely princess with something handmade. Since it is already August (and how the heck did that happen already?!), I was reluctant to sew something too summery for fear that it wouldn’t get many wearings before the weather turns cooler. When I saw this bright animal print stretch denim at Jo-Ann’s, I knew I wanted to use it for the birthday present, and Eli approved. After tossing around several ideas, I finally decided it would pair perfectly with fleece, in an appropriately princess pink shade, of course, for a fun vest.
I really love this vest. The animal print is more bold than fabric I typically choose, but I think the bright primary colors keep it playful and appropriate for a child. And the stretch denim was a dream to work with; nice weight, not too stiff, washed up nicely, easy to sew.
And when Miss Princess is not in the mood to be rainbow-hued, she can swap it to the other side. Oh, did I mention the vest is reversible? Still a pop of color, but a bit more serious.

I used the FLIP Vest pattern by Dana from MADE. I previously made my son a vest using this pattern, and was eager to use the pattern again. It’s the kind of pattern that is such a breeze to work with, you’ll find yourself imagining all kinds of fabrics to pair together for a sharp looking vest. Considering that I wear a fleece vest around the house all winter, the way that some people have a favorite sweatshirt, it’s a good thing this pattern isn’t in adult sizes, or I might have a closet full of vests!
I sewed the vest in size 4/5T with only two modifications: I cut the front neckline slightly lower than the pattern, and lengthened the vest by about an inch and a half (hoping this might help stretch the vest’s fit into next spring). The pattern offers two options for attaching the armhole ribbing, and I chose option #2. I also used a denim needle for my machine, which I think helped given the combined thickness of the denim and the fleece layers.
So, whether the princess chooses to show her sassy print side or more subdued solid side, we are sending her warm birthday wishes!
