I made this little fashion vest from the McCall's Pattern in a linen blend. I made view D and made only one minimal alteration to the pattern: I used one button instead of three. I made this decision mostly because my machine does not have a function to make really nice button holes and I did not trust my skills enough to make 3 identical buttonholes.
To further add to my excitement this is the first item I have made which is fully lined (or lined at all for that matter). However, I did not follow the pattern exactly and I devised my own alternate system which ended giving me some glitches. I will definitely be practicing my lining skills, especially since I have a jacket and a dress on docket to make next.

Welcome back! I see you've returned in style! The vest is so cute! I could only imagine a floral tapestry-covered vest a la 1992. Thanks for opening the door of vest possibilities!
Capital hill seems to have rubbed off on you, judging by the disinterested pose. I guess that's high fashion!
Tyra's shown me a thing or two about what high fashion is all about. God forbid i look too commercial :P
