Condesa Quilted Vest
The Condesa Quilted Vest by Liesl + Co. is a stylish finishing layer designed to add warmth, texture, and handmade personality to your wardrobe. With its oversized, boxy silhouette, the vest is roomy enough for comfortable layering over shirts, tops, and lightweight sweaters.
Choose two lightweight fabrics you love and quilt them with a layer of batting in between to create your own unique fabric. This design gives you plenty of opportunity to experiment with quilting techniques, coordinating colors, prints, solids, and contrasting fabrics.
The pattern includes two pocket options. View A features welt pockets, while View B features easier quilted patch pockets. A stand collar gives both versions a polished finish. Complete your vest with buttons and buttonholes or snaps, or leave the front open for an easy, casual layering piece.

Suggested Fabrics
This pattern works best with light- to medium-weight woven fabrics, including:
- Cotton poplin
- Sateen
- Lawn
- Voile
- Linen
- Rayon
- Silk
Because the fabric will be quilted with batting between two layers, avoid fabrics that are too thick or stiff, as the finished vest may become too heavy.
Notions
- Light- or featherweight fusible interfacing
- Coordinating thread
- Five 1/2"–5/8" snaps or buttons
- One twin-size quilt batting (72" x 90") — enough batting to make two vests
