REFLECTIONS: I love to thrift!!!
- My goal is not buy any thrifted or new clothes for this school year.
- Ya'll are posting great inspirations tempting me to thrift.
- Spring and change of season are tempting me to thrift.
- Eight months down. I can do this !!! Back to the stash!!!
BEFORE: Thrifted Laura Ashley jacket, a pricey label I
like.
- In the Re-fashion Stash
- Brocade fabric, lining, and workmanship are higher end than I like to pay for new.
STEPS:
- I serged seams when first opened. This step stabilized fabrics while reassembling. And helped keep slippery lining fabric from
crawling away.
- Remove sleeves. Cut side insert to enlarge vest and
lining.
- This was a tiny petite, so not much trimming in armcycle
for my narrow shoulders.
- Drop arm seam 1/2” to make room for layering. And to make it
less like a jacket with no sleeve, but more vest-like.
- Cut facing from t-shirt scraps.
AFTER: Best Vest for Spring Special Occasions.
- Reserved for wear for graduations, Easter, etc.
- Can dress up or down.

The fabric and colours are good on this vest. Stick to your no buy resolve, you can still sew.
Wow, that fabric is gorgeous. This vest looks so pretty, great one.
