Making progress on the vest I'm sewing.
Today I pinned in the lining to see if it fits. Yay! Perfect.
As you can see from photo #2, the vest was way too short. So, I added a 3-1/2" band at the bottom. (The suede nap is roughed up from extensive handling. There's no future in brushing it down at this point.)
The instructions call for sewing together the lining and vest at the bottom. No way. That would ruin the drape.
Instead, I will loosely tack the lining at the shoulders and underarms. Will hem the lining and vest separately.
The fabric is washable suede. Nice and warm. Now the vest covers my lower back.
How does the band look so far? Do you like it?
