I've seen these gorgeous little vests around for years! Now I have my own daughter I definitely wanted to make some!

This one is a size 3, 100% wool outer and a cotton flannelette lining to complement

I will be selling them for $35 but this one has a few learning curves in it so I'm letting it go for $30

Maybe by the time I finish this size 3-4 jumper our little lamb will be able to fit it 🤣
