Backstory - my parents help run a Shakespeare thing, and we have a lot of fabric just lying around. They gave me one of the bolts of wool (/~20 yards) for my birthday, and I am ecstatic! I am really really pleased with this vest. Completely self patterned/drafted, fairly well tailored (still some work to do, have to fix some puckers and add some lining). Close up on the collar Coupled with the jacket: the dropped sides are intentional! b-b-b-bonus pic of the shirt I'm working on, made with fabric from an indie fabric store in Chicago (which, of course, I found the day before moving out of chicago...) Seen here on the duct-tape form I made yesterday.
