Freja Vest - PDF Sewing Pattern
Freja Vest - PDF Sewing Pattern
Couldn't load pickup availability
Freja is a sleek, semi-fitted vest that embodies a modern and minimalistic style. Princess seams create a smooth, contoured fit, highlighted by a defined waistline. The front gently flares out from the waist, adding lightness and contemporary flair.
The vest is fully lined and reaches the lower hip. It features a back buckle and belt detail that cinches the waist and adds visual interest.
The pattern includes two pocket options: discreet welt pockets for a refined, tailored look, and practical rounded patch pockets for a casual style.
Samples are all sewn in heavy-weight linen suiting and mi-weight linen with an acetate or thin cotton lining. For this pattern, I recommend medium-weight woven fabrics with a good drape such as wool suiting, wool crepe, lightweight wool tweed, cotton twill, linen, and linen-cotton blends.
I wear the grey suiting version in size 34 with the welt pockets and no alterations with a denim version of the Tatjana Trousers and a lace Stephanie skirt. Pauline wears her brown linen Freja in size 46 (of the 34-46 range) with the waist relaxed. Lilli wears a green linen one in size 50 with no alterations.

Sizing
I draft and grade my sewing patterns for a height of 5’5” (1.65m) from size 34 to 60 (see below). When applicable, the size range is divided between 34-46, developed for B/C cup size, and 46-60, developed for a DD cup size.
If your body measurements are at least one size outside of the size range, I grade up or down at no cost.
See the sizing page for more information.
