#86 Back to School Wardrobe
BEFORE: Vest in
the Mending stash.
#1 Re-fashion last year from quilted jacket to vest included:
- Used sleeves to cut/insert side gussets
- Replaced buttons.
- Added denim and leatherette trim.
- Faced the arm-cyles with binding.
STEPS: I liked the original trim, which took time to apply.
I did not want to seam rip and replace the trim.
