This lace vest was inspired by
Jenny Haskins' Creative Embroidery by Machine magazine,
Vol.1, No. 2. The trim and doily were purchased. Most
of the laces on the front are various ones from
Criswell Embroidery and
Design . Some were stitched directly on the vest, and
others were added after embroidering. I purchased English netting and thread
from Thread
Artist .
The vest won 3rd place at MEEC in the Heirloom category. That was a nice honor. It was also featured in an article I wrote for Embroidery Journal, January 2003 issue .

On the back I used designs from Jim Suzio's new lace collection. They stitched out perfectly on the netting using Badgemaster as my stabilizer. Once completed, I coffee-dyed the entire vest so that most of the laces and trims would match. |
