When I walk the treadmill, I watch You Tube and find inspiration.
What do I watch? Sewing related, style, lifestyle, decorating you name it.
I discovered What to Wear and love it. One item mentioned in the videos is a sweater vest and I loved how she suggested styling it.
Style Maker Fabrics' had this fabulous cable sweater knit in several colors and I found some in her Selvage Yard section. It was 2/3rds of a yard and I thought I could squeeze out the vest. If not then the cable knit could be for a granddaughter.
From the time the sweater vest was mentioned on What to Wear, I knew I would use the
True Bias Lodo Dress. The v-neck was perfect and with a few changes it would be just what I wanted in a sweater vest.
I eliminated the sleeve cap, cut it a bit wider through the body, needed room to layer. Deepened the armhole just a bit to accommodate a blouse. I just held the pattern up to my body for length, good news, it was just what I needed to make the vest!
It took about 45 minutes to cut and sew this garment and it was just what I had in mind for a sweater vest. Now the fun begins in my layering options!
I had this boyfriend blazer from Loft, a couple years old and knew the wine sweater knit would make a great outfit.
I've been searching for the perfect pattern to hand knit a vest, but this is such a great idea I think I might plan to sew one instead :-) Love the way you styled it (I watch What to Wear on YouTube too!), thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteMy wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.
