Girl Scout sewing?

Does anyone know if Girl Scout sewing patterns still exist? Our
Brownie troop, while not doing the whole uniform thing, is probably
going to go with the vests rather than the sashes, and the vests cost
more, so I thought about sewing them instead. But, while I remember
there being Girl Scout sewing patterns, I can't find any right now!

There is a Daisy smock sewing KIT in my Girl Scout magazine, but I
don't see a kit for the Brownie vests.

If you like to sew, you may purchase Girl Scout sewing patterns
and fabric from Jo Ann Fabrics stores. You may also purchase
your Girl Scout necessities from the JC Penney catalog, the
Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. catalog

I did find a message on a yahoo group saying Jo Ann Fabric Stores
had discontinued the material though. Not sure if you can still find it.

You can try here too
http://shop.girlscouts.org/frames.as...re=uniformshop

From everything I can find, the pattern was discontinued.

The Brownie pattern seems to have been discontinued. The pattern
number is simplicity pattern 9437. You can try Simplicity Direct and
see.

If you can't find the pattern, perhaps you can get a single vest and take it
apart to make your pattern.

I also found a page from a girlscout named Kristina who says she has
a pattern if anyone is interested, so you might email her.

Where To Get It: Uniforms can be purchased at Kettman’s or Merry Mart.
You can also order online at the GSUSA website (GSUSA Online Shopping
Mall). If anyone is so inclined, Kristina has a pattern that works well for
making your daughter’s vest.

If cost is a consideration, you can also look for vests at secondhand
stores. Kids drop out and don't want the vest--they go for next to nothing.
Side note: we've preferred the vests to the sashes. Vests hold more
patches and stay put, unlike the sash. The girls used to get sashes and
many needed two sashes to hold their try-its/fun patches. The sash may work
better for a child in a wheelchair.
