So many of the Bunad classes are based on the women's Bunad.  In this class, we start our journey into the Men's Vest.  This class will be making the Mens Bunad Vest from the  Østerdalen region and this pattern (and color) is only used in this region.  The main wool fabric on the front is stamped on. However, as you can see this vest is almost timeless - it could even be worn today with a suit coat to a dressy event!

 

Supplies: 

This class includes a kit shipped to your home with all the materials you need to be successful (a $315 value!), fabric precut to your size,  buttons, thread, and instructions. You will have a choice of red, blue, or green materials to make one vest. All accurate colors for the region.

If you are registering for this class in a location outside the United States, you will need to provide your own supplies. Please contact folkartschool@vesterheim.org when you register for more information about what materials are required for this class.

 

Additional Supplies:

Students will need to provide their own fabric scissors, sewing machine, good lighting, and optional magnifying glass for detail work. 

Students will need to provide a computer, laptop, or tablet with a camera and mic as well as a fast, reliable internet connection.

 

Level of instruction: 

You should have a basic understanding of pattern reading and garment construction. This vest incorporates various construction techniques, requiring both hand and machine sewing. The process will follow traditional methods used by Bunad makers in Norway.
