Mia – Open Vest for Summer

Looking for a quick and comfy sewing project for warm days? Then “Mia” is just what you need! Whether over a tank top, at the beach, or as an everyday layer – this vest is a relaxed wardrobe essential.

“Mia” is an open-front vest with extended shoulders and cut-on sleeves. The simple design makes it especially beginner-friendly – no set-in sleeves, no tricky details.

A narrow neckband finishes the neckline neatly and gives the vest a clean, elegant touch. You can sew it from the same fabric or add contrast with a second jersey. For a decorative finish, you can also add a fringe or lace trim at the hem.

Thanks to the open design, “Mia” works beautifully with flowy fabrics like viscose or muslin. Depending on your fabric choice, the look can be casual, boho, or refined.
