j222b said... I love your project. Very arty. Never discard these-they might look great on a wall, too! I am so inspired-and thanks for descriptions of texturizing. Did you review the book? What was it? 8/19/09 2:32 PM
TrixieD said... Great results. I love the fabric combination and the fact you made me notice a pattern that I hadn't considered before. 8/19/09 5:11 PM
carolynw said... Absolutely smashing - I have done some texturizing and find it such an interesting way to achieve a different one of a kind look - you have certainly done this with your vest - great review 8/19/09 5:53 PM

marthamyers said... Absolutely fabulous! I too am interested in fabric manipulation and re-purposing garments. Your review provides great inspiration. How will you adjust the armholes in future vests? I look forward to seeing those too. 8/20/09 9:15 AM

ITAdmin said... martha, I'm going to experiment with shortening and, probably, narrowing the armhole. Gapping isn't really the problem, but it may need darting or something once it's not so extended. 8/20/09 4:46 PM
