Does anyone know where I can find a pattern to make some body armor? ie vest, leggings ect.
I found a place in town that sells Kevlar by the yard and am thinking about making my own body armor.

Great Find! How much are they charging? You could even do your cars etc.

Outdoor Wilderness Fabrics

owfinc.com

The price guide is kinda hard to follow but I think around $15/yrd.

I haven't found any paterns yet but I might try modeling it after a MOLLE vest.

Oh wow, they must have updated it recently.
Well I hope the can get some more in soon.
IIRC the one of the crooks in the North Hollywood shootout made a Kevlar body suit he wore underneath his clothes.
