I found it a little too small and way too short so I made it longer to sit on the floor if she's sitting up. First step is to sew the two vests down the sides and across the shoulders.
Next sew in the neckband and then sandwich the two together. You leave a hole for the vest to be turned inside out and voila! Lining is done. Not too tricky really.
Now I don't know about anyone else but I get very impatient as I'm nearing the end of a project. This is when things go wrong! Because I'm not being careful and watching what I'm doing and yes, I'm rushing! Case in point below.
Quick unpick (several times I might add) and lots of swearing and it's finally complete. Now for the buttons. Again after several bad attempts and more swearing I opted for faux buttons and domes. You can see why!
So bad! Anyway the final thing looks pretty cute and the model is even cuter. You win this time buttonholes but I will get you.
