I know others of you have UFO projects which aren't quite to the completed vision stage... And while I was painting on my door I was going over this one once again and think maybe its time has come. You all have seen this vest posted before. I made it from embroidered linens and DH wore it in our booth when we did flower shows.....
This one was the top to a denim jumper I wore in the booth. I always wanted to repurpose these two pieces into garments or totes or SOMETHING!!
Our booth was absolutely dripping with lace decor...curtains, tableclothes, doilies....but stuff too large for CQ... I have a couple bins of it left in the barn. which I would love to use.
Well I just LOVE Magnolia Pearl's stuff made from linens and old lace but it's really for the young and tiny...
Most vests frankly do not look well on a woman of girth.. but I did see this piece that I liked.. a vest with a little sleeve.
What I really like is the irregular bottom edge..
Then I saw this and this I LOVED... the irregular edge would do well on me...but of course there was no pattern for sale... just the garment. But in the years I did sew a lot for myself I was ALWAYS combining and altering patterns. This would work with the CQ pieces and some of my leftover lace..
Now the big question is whether I would look clever and chic in it or like a fat chick wearing a tablecloth???
