I love the fabrics you're choosing. The colors and patterns are so pretty. Great vest, can't wait T see the blouse.

I like the color and fabrics as well. Silk is so luxurious! That jade color on the impending project is lovely and excited to see how it results!
I have never tried to make a vest from a jacket. Very pretty.
