REFLECTIONS: Some items in my Re-fashion stash are reminders
of Dynasty and Dallas.
- Shoulder pads and bling buttons,
- Poly / linen blend. From the re-fashion stash. From a thrift.
- Remove Dallas / Dynasty shoulder pads / bling buttons.
- Seam Rip: Remove sleeve & sleeve lining. Open side seam.
- Cut side insert panels from sleeves & lining.
- Insert and finish the side panels to enlarge the small jacket.
- Replace buttons from the stash.

I like the asymmetry on this one. You seem to have perfected this jacket to vest method now. Its good to make something you can wear again.
whatthesew Thank you. These vests have really expanded the wardrobe. Vests are versitle and easy to wear. Most are from jackets collected for their interesting fabric. But, now that I am semi-retired I do not need suit jackets. And yes they have gotten easier to sew as I have made them.
That bright yellow is awesome and I love the asymmetrical front too. Great job!

That is the best vest!
That is lovely! Your changes made a huge difference.
Thanks to all. I wore the vest today. With black pants and turtleneck. A student loved it. Said it looked like a bumblebee!!!
I love the diagonal and the bright yellow color.
