Bringing back the art o f the Pendleton vest
i f Pendleton has
some amazing
patterns, even one
called the Warm
Springs b lank et.”

N o re e Guerin wanted badly to
learn to how to make a tradi
tional Pendleton vest, but didn’t
know where to turn.
A t the same time represen
tatives from Pendleton Woolen
Mills in Portiand wanted badly
to establish a relationship with
the tribes, but didn’t know who
to contact.
W ith one call, everything just
fell into place.
Noree was invited to the fac
tory for a one-on-on session
w here she learned to make a
simple one-piece vest.
“I did it m yself during the
Rose Festival, and it was easier
than I thought,” Guerin said. “I
th o u g h t to m y self th a t this
would be a wonderful project to
bring back to the people on the
reservation. The entire pattern
is one piece, and you only have
to sew it on the shoulder.”
Pendleton Woolen Mills rep
resentatives Julie Fischer and
Stacy Brisbee were excited for
the chance to begin working with
the tribes.
“Julie told me Pendleton has
been wanting to do some classes
on the reservation, and I didn’t
know what to say. I ’m just here
to make a vest, I thought.”
Inspired by her own creation,
N o re e

Grant.
“I didn’t get it,” she says, “but
I knew that I couldn’t stop there,
because this is a skill that our
people could really use. Teach
ing the tribal members, that’s the
whole point. Having a relation
ship with Pendleton would be a
good thing for our people.”
N oree continued her discus
sions with Pendleton W oolen
Mills, and was able to arrange
for representatives to teach a
class earlier this m onth at the
Museum at Warm Springs.
“They brought with them the
Pendleton rhaterial, the ribbing,
the patterns, everything that you
would need to make your very
own vest. And the thing about
this particular pattern is that
even someone who is just be
ginning to sew will be able to
walk away with a vest. There’s
no way to sew it wrong.”
M ore classes are b ein g
planned for the near-future.

m other’s side are Ralph

“T his is the first class, so
people can understand a litde bit
m ore about w hat we’re doing
here,” Guerin said.
“Pendleton has some amaz
ing patterns, even one called the
W arm Springs Blanket. They
have the petroglyphs that you’d
find along the Columbia, they
have Lillian P itt’s w ork, and
there’s even a veterans style.”
The cost, o f the class is $70.
Students who take the class get
a discount on Pendleton mate
rials. T h ere ’s- also a discount
available for senior citizens.
‘W e have one student here
today who is sewing for the first
time,” G uerin was saying dur
ing the recent class.
“She’ll take a vest home to
day. We also have an experi
enced seam stress rig h t over
here. Today she’s purchasing her
own materials and pattern. She’ll
take those hom e and assemble
her vest there.” j
Future classes could include
Pendleton toys or drum cases
if interest grows.
