Customer Reviews
For Christmas my son requested a vest of 100 pockets ( a magic vest from dungeons and dragons). I used this as my base pattern and added about 80 more pockets thanks to learning from the project as I went I learned new techniques for pockets and how to install zippers which I was terrified of. The project was easy enough to follow and I don't consider myself a good sewer by any means. But it was easy to follow and made me excited to be able to make papa a matching vest ( maby with just the normal amount of pockets hahahaha.
