sakon76HAH.
I still have to (1) make and attach the tassels, (2) put in the zipper in the front, (3) make the front chest panel, and (4) possibly tack down the collar in the back so it doesn't flip up weird. But the body of Edel's vest? DONE. It's raw silk for the fashion fabric and lining, with a cotton duck cloth interlining, and a poly/linen blend for the collar. I'm being actually economical here--all of this was fabric I already had. And, as with the scent of linen while I was making the hoopskirt (and Greenberg and Hammer could ship my order now. Really. Any time, guys...), I've gotten to like the scent of raw silk while working with it.
So tomorrow I plan to finish 1-4 above and hopefully start ironing and cutting for Edel's skirt trim.
