    |  | This is a vest I made using Lois and Diane Ericson's pattern
      #314.  It is made of two coordinating fabrics which are cut in a wavy
      pattern and then woven together.  Once woven, a decorative stitch is
      used on the raw edges.  The back is out of the plain gold.  Both
      fabrics are 100% cotton. |  
    |  | I found in my stash an gold belt fastener.  By
      making buttonholes for the slots where the belt would normally go, I could
      place them flat on the vest for the closure.  With the slot thru the
      buttonhole, I glued a tab of ultrasuede on the back side to hold it in
      place. |
