I've got a few body warmers/gilets but none with as many pockets as this pattern has. Waxed was the first thought but it was going to be more summery so I wanted a lighter colour. I have got some boring beige that I bought for a jacket for DH but he went and bought one, but it's a bit on the dark beige side and I'd rather anything but that.
Mind you, Llamas, I think I could really live with that. I just wanted something different and I found it by accident.
Mind you
@sewmuchmore, there is no way I'm sticking patterns pieces together, I can't even stick a parcel together without it looking like a kid of 4 had done it. I take the easy way out, worth every penny.
