I rediscovered some pattern pieces I had cut out for a vest a long while ago and never sewed together - 3 of them actually.

Now it was a wee bit small, but easily adjustable I thought...(ah huh)
Along the way I decided to make it reversible rather than line it...(sure, why not)

Thought it would be cool to have pockets on both sides...(yea, wouldn't it) And how about making my own bias tape for the arm holes while I'm at it...(no problemo)

I did have fun mixing and matching all the fabric possibilities. The vest is a great way to use up small scraps that I love, that aren't big enough for much else.

A feat of engineering (for me, anyhow) in figuring out reversibility with pockets, mitering bias tape, and getting the ole' loop turner happening - but it's all good.
Especially now that it's done.

That is one very, very beautiful vest, and looks like a lot of work!
