ExperiencedUniforms Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Hello all: A leader contacted me asking if I have any vests. I suggested she try making some out of the material found at sewing stores. She says that Joanne here in Albany, OR no longer sells the material or patterns. Does anyone on this list have any vests, material, patterns &/or resources they could share? Thank you! Keep on Scoutin' Ora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutNut Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 A Jo-ann Fabric that does not sell red felt, fleece, or any other sturdy red fabric? Sounds like a store going out of business to me! You can get red fleece from their online store: http://www.joann.com/catalog.jhtml?CATID=95061 For the pattern we just use an old vest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExperiencedUniforms Posted January 22, 2005 Author Share Posted January 22, 2005 Hello Scoutnut: Thank you for your reply. JoAnne did at one time carry GSUSA material for uniform projects, but they seem to have discontinued the line. Brownies wear brown colored vests, and Girl Scouts wear green color vests. Red is more for Cub and Boy Scouts. If you find a source for brown or green material in GSUSA colors, please let me know. Thank you.

ScoutNut Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Whoops! You're right I was thinking in "Cub Scout" mode! The brown shouldn't be to hard to find, it is pretty much a common shade. The Junior green on the other hand has a bit of blue in it and is hard to match. As for the Girls 11-17, beige is beige, but I prefer the royal blue! GSUSA no longer endorses a uniform pattern. Probably taking away too much profit from the sale of uniforms. However, the Simplicity vest pattern #7357 is close and can be adapted. You can purchase it online here: http://www.sewingpatterns.com/ Just do a search for 7357. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
