Second Scrappy Vest! (Even better. With lots of pics.)

[Addie_Marie]

My second vest!!! I like it better than the first, and learned more things in the process, so that was very good. It also went faster--I think I spent seven or eight hours on it, versus ten to twelve on the last.

I just spent two plus hours editing these photos and making them look nice and getting my listing up on etsy. Seeing as how I was also on the computer for plenty of hours at work, I'll make this rather short and let the pictures speak for themselves.

This time I did two crossed tabs, and four buttons, so it is adjustable. See my watch? Yeah, I bought if for like six bucks a couple days ago at an antique store and it stopped working a day later. I was all excited, too, because it's a wind-up! Eh, what could I expect. Maybe I'll work it into a piece of clothing sometime?

Is etsy going to get mad at me for working around their five picture limit by putting three pics in one file? Because I had a lot of pictures and there's so much to see on it... haha.

I know, DOES NOT GO WITH SHIRT. But I got some better pics before I realized that and decided to go with it anyway. I'll force my colors to go together, dammit!

This one has a quarter sewn onto it as well... tell me, can you spot it?

It is for sale here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19504054

So much for not talking, right? XD My body is having little spasms from being so cold (stupid minnesota weather, and the computer nicely being placed in a very drafty corner), so I'm going to skidaddle. Thanks for looking, everyone!!! I don't want to spam you all by posting too much, but....yeah. Comments are appreciated, criticsm welcome, and really, it means a lot that you're just reading this and looking at the photos.

[RainbowDesigner]

I absolutely love the crazy stitch pattern ^-^ makes it look wrinkled but in a good way ;D awsome job!

[BOOGLE]

quarter: right arm... under the armpit backish area.


awesome work :D

[Addie_Marie]

You're right, Boogle! :D

Thanks, guys!! I was comparing pictures of the two, and I guess wish I'd done this one in the same style as the other one... eh, next time! I kind of want to make myself a jacket, totally covered in scraps. Or a dress. Haha, we'll see. :)

[NixiDust]

This one looks great as well!
Personally, I loved the black and white color scheme of the first one, but this one is great too and goes really well with the theme of your etsy.
I love the fact that you sewed little trinkets and surprises all over the place.

[pursequeen]

i love it
where do u get ur vest pattern?

[augustsun]

so pretty, i like the black and white and the blue and red!

[killsanity]

ahhh...i love it!

[kimcoombs217]

i loved the last one that you made so much that i started making one out of a bunch of red strips of fabric, the problem is that the strips are only 1/2 inch wide so it's taking a while.

i love this one to, especially the way that it looks in the first picture, so at least you wont have to worry wheither it will still look good if it fades.

[BeckZombie]

I loved the first one and I love this one, too!
I really love how the tab/button part looks

[swtater123]

That is so awesome! I saw your other one, and it was great too. I love to see things made with scraps, too many good scraps get thrown away.

[Glitterimage2]

wow i love it but i don't think i could pay attention long enough to make one

[Sparklechyld]

I love this one ESPECIALLY with the yellow striped shirt

[i_rok_93]

[catnip008]

[sdot]

I just checked out tour ESTY shop and you have great creative taste girl... the only way is up!!!

[ButterflyDemise]

Love it! It's very cute. The colors are really entertaining as well, haha.

I really like it, I wish I could make a vest but my sewing skills are not that big, it´s going to take a while for me to make something from scratch.

[Addie_Marie]

Awww thank you so much everyone!! :)

[Smashedxintoxpieces]

Love it.

[The Angry Hippie]

it's fantastic, i love that u sewed a quarter to it and the closure really makes it imo.

[circusandfilm]

it's wonderful! I think I may have liked the first one better, but this one is really fun! I wish I could do something like this, but I don't think I have the patience.

[Carpe_nox]

Just wonderful. I just love the fabrics you used esp. the Anchors!!
Great pattern too. I'm really impressed. You've inspired me to think about making one!

I was planning on knitting or crocheting a bolero (not decided on which way I'll go... probably crochet) but now I'm thinking I'll have a go at a vest!

You are inspirational!

[cheshirekitten93]

my favorite part???? the soda tabs!!!!! ;)

[ianni490]
