It will be a bit cropped for my general
taste. There just isn't enough yarn for a long vest--but that won't
matter. I have (it's almost imperceptible) started the V neck
shaping, too. I want the V to be long and deep.
More progress could have been made, but
spring cleaning continues, and plus I needed to fit in a quick trip
to the store to buy some more thread. I have spools and spools—and
yet it never fails, I run out! Partly it's because the pretty
'denim' color way of thread comes in small spools (125 yards) only.
I could just work with plain navy—but I was also short of the dark
gold heavy duty top stitching thread, too.
The denim vest is still incomplete—but
progress has been made. The outside of the vest is done, and the
lining, too. I stopped last night midway through the pockets—welted
inset ones, once again, but this time, not straight and short, but
vertical and deep.
I expect to have it finished by Sunday.
There are lots of little details... Just the sort
of thing I like. Its the same basic pattern I have been using for
months now. But with all the details slightly different. I like
this long, V necked, notched hem version of the vest best. Once I
add riveted buttons, and the final stop stitching—it will have a
very classic denim look. Casual, but detailed.. a curious mixture of
work a day clothes and tailored dressy clothing.
So that's what I have been up to!
