This bundle is the ideal solution for students starting the Hippie Chaleco project.
A Chaleco is an open fronted vest, it is a sleeveless garment without buttons or zippers and is worn open. It can sometimes be embellished by creating hanging strips of material (aka fringe) along the edges for a fashionable bohemian look. Students can express their own individual style with the Chaleco, they can add patches, pins, chains, appliques and more to create their own unique look.
The materials included should cover your consumption for this Chaleco + a little extra leftover for your matching purse, etc…
