I sewed this vest from thrifted fabric and a cute 70s' pattern! It was a very tedious project....lots of pinning, marking, cutting, and fitting. I love the outcome though. I guess I say that every time. These pictures are very tilted because I took it in my slanted/creepy side yard that never gets mowed and has a humungous elk dead head......rotting dead head.....fur/gooey-ness and all. I was on the verge of tossing my, um five guys cajun fries the whole time. Hence the stink face in some of these photos.
Today's weather was AMAZING and I took advantage of every minute. Can you believe there are a couple of horses down the street from me....I mean on a busy street in a cramped neighborhood. It is random. Beck and I visited them today, Beck is frightened out of his mind, we tried to feed the baby shetland pony some craisins which he had no desire for. Maybe I will sneak the little guy some apples or carrots.
wow! you're incredibly talented then aren't you?! :) that's a great vest and a great outfit, for that matter!

That vest is awesome! Are you a self-taught sewer or did someone teach you? I really want to sew, but have no idea how!
ReplyDeleteamy day to day
I don't remember ever looking THAT cute in the 70's! You have turned up the volume on a great 70's classic. I still love and wear vests. The only thing missing is a pocket watch!
ReplyDeleteWow! You really made that from scratch?! Haha I am really jealous of your talent. I've have tried for years to sew stuff like this, but never could until I found your blog! Thank you so much! Sincerely, Addicted to C&C
ReplyDeleteIf I give you my measurements will I get one too? Also, I could see the little Beckster in a cute vest for his Easter outfit. Are you two going to match? xox
ReplyDeleteI am LOVIN this Outfit Liz! Love, Erin
ReplyDeletecreepy side yard, nothin'. my side yard has a missing fence slat, with an obnoxious barking dog who constantly (no lie) pokes her nose through and barks her face off. i'll take creepy any day.
ReplyDeleteknow what else i'll take? your vest. soooo cute! love.
