A potential travel wardrobe vest...done in a wonderful knit ponte from Marcy Tilton (sold out, unfortunately). She calls it "Keith Haring"
Close up of the fabric...
and I think you can see why I snapped it up! MY colors! I made it up as a vest in Sandra Betzina's new Vogue pattern, V1425.
I'm very happy with it...the fabric is wonderful and the pattern is interesting.
The cute little purse came from the shop at the Portland Art museum.
I can wear it with gray AND red, and it's a perfect weight for my taste.
I had to take these pictures EARLY in the morning, as it's supposed to get close to 100 degrees today; not the time to be so covered up!
Back to the studio I go!

Wonderful vest. Been looking at that pattern and now I'm convinced to get it done!
ReplyDeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteHave that same fabric in my stash...think mine came from Fabric Mart. That vest is stunning on you!
ReplyDeleteThat is so striking-and it looks wonderful on you. I am currently looking for blue fabric for the long sleeve version of this pattern. I wonder if taffeta would work?
ReplyDeleteYour interpretation of Sandra B's latest top/vest if so striking - so you. I believe you're the first to post a blog on this pattern - speedy you! Karen
ReplyDeleteIt looks like that fabric was designed with you in mind! Fabulous! I love how the silhouette of Marcy's vest mimics the fabric design!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you've done a post on this before...but I'd love to see one of your travel wardrobe capsules, including shoes and accessories! You always look so polished and put together on your trips, and I want some of that to rub off on me!
Perfect,use of that fabric! I got some too and love it. Thanks for showing that pattern made up. I'm on it! Oh, The Smugglers Daughter has that fabric now, I think.
ReplyDeleteLove this on you, great outcome.
This is lovely! Perfect fabric for the perfect pattern!!!
ReplyDeleteas always you never disappoint with your garments. you have now made me add another pattern to my growing list. LOVE you taste in clothing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great item looks even better being worn.
ReplyDeleteFabulous!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous-did you make any adjustments to the pattern ?
ReplyDeleteFabulous Margy! No less than fab. Jane
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! I like your description of pattern as "interesting". Not for beginners perhaps?
ReplyDeleteMargy you look great in the vest and I love the design!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And, that fabric is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteReally cool combination of pattern and fabric, or shape and pattern,...
ReplyDeleteThat is amazingly cool fabric! I love how you've used it for this vest and your choice of zipper too. The pockets are wonderful for their architecture, let alone their usefulness. One hundred? Wow. And I complain here with temps in the 80s.
