Lining a vest by machine sounds easy, but each time it is a struggle for me. I forget which seams not to sew (the side seams, must make a mental note) and I have to rip away. I reach in and start pulling the front through the teeny shoulders. Wonder who thought of this??? It's coming, it's coming.... Now I need help from my bamboo point turner. Push! It's here!!! Just a few stitches to close and my new V-String vest is ready to go out into the world.
Beautiful! Like giving birth right?!
ReplyDeleteHi Helen - your vest turned out great! Or should I say it turned inside-out great? And I LOVE that you did stay-stitching!!! wow, home ec class...brings back memories for me too...that's where I learned to sew, and I haven't stopped since! have a lovely day~
ReplyDeleteIt looks so great with the black lining. You'll cheer everyone you meet when you wear this!
ReplyDeleteI agree, turning a sewn garment is the worst. It is like putting a square peg in a round hole sometimes. But your efforts paid off, it is terrific!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogland! I love your vests. You have inspired me.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I make a vest I have to figure out how to do it again as if for the first time. When I'm struggling to get the front pieces through the shoulders or whatever the process is, I think "this can't be right!" Your vest looks great!
