Default Gem, Little Vest for You....
Both Gem and I have the little same book and are having fun talking about what pretties we may have a go at in the book, well hrere is my first one from it. Whilst the builders are doing what they are doing and the children are playing I thought I would get doing on the little vest, really quick tute and now I have a need to go out and buy vests in all sorts of different colours. I made the ovals a little bigger than the book said and even got carried away and took the George label off and put one of mine in Ha Ha


This is the book I got tute from incase anyone doesn't know





And the tute for the pretty vest



And here is my little grey vest now with pretty splashes of pink, and some of CTC'c kindly given fabric

Lovely Mary P. You could sell these! Really pretty. x

I've seen the book, but I have so many sewing books I haven't opened.... I was very strong and resisted. You're making me think I should go for it! ;-P

No, not basic at all. Just perfect. Could you do me one? I'll pay obviously. x

I agree you could sell them, I think it's gorgeous, love the button idea too.

I reckon you should take a trip to Primark, buy up all their vest tops and replace with your labels and applique.

BTW Mary, Sew Hip magazine have a similar idea for a bag. If I remember only the top bit was stitched and the other bits were flapping, they were in rows IYKWIM.
