Shift into Vest

I started with an old linen jumper I had that was now too small, too short and too stained.

With nothing to lose, I cut straight up the middle to turn it into a vest. Using lace from an old prom dress, I edged the neckline and center front with it.

 Then made substantial patch pockets out of a scrap of upholstery fabric in just the right color.

yeah, pockets!

And just for kicks I made a feather boa collar (detachable thank goodness!)

too much?!
