Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Casual

Materials

material, scissors

What was your inspiration?

wanted a nice long vest

What are you most proud of?

the way it looks so many different ways

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I think a plain color would look better, especially when open but this is the fabric I had, also use a lightweight non fray fabric with stretch to it so no sewing is needed around edges to get the nice draped look

Heeeelp.... Can't figure out where to measure & cut?! Fold fabric in half & cut on fold 5 or 7 inches down from fold? Won't I end up with 2 open sides & my head sticking out the middle of fabrIc?

5" from fold and 7" from top you make circle...that will give you the two arm holes when you open it up ...hope this helps

I love the color and if it was a little longer in the front bottom,you could add buttons down the front and make a dress!
