Charity shop bought padded Gillet Square that was a bit worse for wear, lovingly patched and repaired and then some, with a heavy amount of hand sewn, machine stitched and magically arranged patches of various deadstock fabrics, scraps and ephemera. Realtree becomes ‘real af’ - my favourite Spanish football team… lols… garden gloves give you a floral potted patch and a painting of Morris dancers form wikipedia is digitally printed onto deadstock fabric then sewn on too, see if you can spot it! This one really says, walking the dogs at 10 then raving it up Bristol bound at 12. Perfect for autumn!

Materials - wide variety of scrap fabrics including fishing rod holder linen, luxury brocade, wool plaid, cotton checked shirting, eco cotton drill, granny sofa fabrics, cotton ticking, cotton jersey, cotton drill, real tree hoodie (cotton/poly blend), furnishing fabrics and pins and polyester and cotton thread all on a synthetic polyester/nylon padded vest.
Dry clean is best, if not, spot clean, if its muddy, it will be okay to machine wash 40/ synthetic with like colours. I would generally avoid higher temperatures unless removing stains that penetrate the cottony fabrics. Autumnal Colours Patchwork Padded Vest
