New Vest!




New Vest PatternApril 2, 2016

My new vest pattern called "The Long and the Short of It" is easy to make and comfortable to wear.  I have made it from all kinds of fabrics from rayon to polyester chiffon.  The easiest is making it from 2 pashmina scarves.  Because the scarf is interesting on both sides,  I made a flat seam so it could be reversible.  Here is the video on how I did the seam.  Make this pattern up in your favorite fabric by April 30, 2016, send me a picture and you will get your name in a drawing for a pair of 10" serrated KIA scissors (valued at $89).  Drawing will happen on May 1st.
