Nonni Vest
Size 12 MONTHS - 12 YEARS
Pattern and tutorial in English and French.
Skill level: This pattern suits an intermediate sewist.
Style notes: The NONNI Pattern is a gender-neutral sleeveless body warmer designed for layering, comfort, and versatility. This classic vest features clean, simple lines, a relaxed fit, and endless fabric possibilities. It can be quilted and includes welt pockets, a mandarin collar, and two fastening options. Constructed with two layers and finished with bias-bound edges, the vest can be made fully reversible if the pockets are omitted, or if they are added to both the inside and the outside. Dress it up over a dress or keep it casual with jeans, you’ll find yourself wearing it all year round.
You will find a step-by-step video tutorial on the YouTube channel, Atelier MIMITO, alongside a breakdown of the construction steps in the video description.
This tutorial indicates the time for each step as you go along. This way you can sew as you watch and pause when needed.
Recommended fabrics: Heavy‑weight linen, cotton twill, denim, corduroy, wool suiting, or any crisp natural woven fabrics with medium to low drape (slightly stiff when hanging). If your fabric choice is thinner, adding a thin wadding between layers is recommended. If using heavy‑weight fabrics such as denim or corduroy, it’s best to choose a lightweight material for the lining and pocket lining.

Suggestions: Try it in denim for a casual everyday look, a vintage woollen blanket for a one‑of‑a‑kind eclectic style, or a traditional Chinese brocade for a timeless, cheongsam‑inspired feel.
