I am going to attempt this vest today. http://webstore.quiltropolis.net/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details.asp?Shopper_id=4671410390467&Store_id=516&page_id=23&Item_ID=1196 It is not difficult, just the first time I have had a chance to use my new machine.

Cute Mary. I like vest but they don't look very good on me. I"m short and round so they are not very attractive looking on me. But I love them and wish I could wear them. I have tons of patterns for them just wishing one day I could lose my stomach and be able to wear one. Let us know how it turns out.
I'm regressing back into my youth, I just have to figure out how I'm going to convience my body to come along with me.

O.K. so we see the pattern -- What sort of fabric are you using? Any special finishings? Dorothy |

I'm using a navy/white plaid in poly/rayon blend. I have lots of navy pants. Nothing special, I am more interested in giving the new machine a run.

I like it. Make sure you post a pic. I love to see everybody's project. Suzy, you can wear the vests. Just make them at hip length, do not button them up and play with your choice of fabric. You'll be surprised. For me, it's the butt thing but I still don't make the vests too long as I'm also short. It's called "camouflage". Try it. |
