Lets try again!

For some reason my last post did not show up.. I'm sure it was not me..ha..ha.. so I'm just going to do it again.  This is Burda 7399. I made it from a wool rayon blend that I bought three or four years ago from Fashion Fabrics.com. 

Here is the view of the back .  The back peplum is cut on the bias..which I love.. it makes it hang well.

Side picture

the pattern had you use 1/4 inch ribbon for the ties.  I didn't like that idea, so I just made ties out of bias strips of the fabric.

The pattern called for pockets which I also love but not in this vest with this fabric.  I thought it might droop to much.  I kept the stitching at the bottom which makes the bottom of the pocket.

I also bound all the seams inside with bias strips of lining.

Another front view.  Okay I'm not liking this size font.  I don't think I'll be using it again, but I'm not about to redo this post for the third time.   Thanks for visiting!

  1. Well, how cute is that? I like that you bound the seams. Makes for a very couture looking garment. If that pattern is still in print, I am definitely going to buy it.
