Title: Lovely vests, lots of good ideas, but not worth the effort.
Product review: I purchased this book because of the lovely designs and what appeared to be well thought out instructions and was greatly put off by the lack of patterns I could readily use. By this I mean patterns I can copy to scale or order--and since I can't measure the patterns themselves I don't know if they'll fit anyway. I visited several copy centers today and learned that having these patterns reproduced at 285% is not as simple as the author makes it seem. While I may wind up keeping the book for ideas, I'm irritated enough that I may return it on principle. Too bad, Ms. Hiney would have had a really good thing if she'd gone the extra mile.
