This is a vest I made from a fabric pack I bought at the Houston Quilt
Show from Park Bench Patterns. The pattern is
Diane Ericson's #103. |
 |
The one recurring theme I saw at the Quilt Show in garments was vintage
fabrics such as this floral drapery fabric. I was able to combine all
the pieces in this pack by using this pattern. The turqoise silk was
used as piping between the carmel-colored textured poly and the floral. |
 |
I found buttons in my stash that brought out the colors quite well.
The antique turqoise pin belonged to my mother-in-law who bought it
in Arizona when she was a young woman in the 1940's. |
 |
The back of the vest is another piece in the pack and is a plain wool.
No embroidery on this vest, but the fabrics were enough, I thought. |
