Sweater Vest

The completed sweater vest, which has certainly made me both moody and blue at times!

 

And while I'd be the first to point out its many flaws, I'm actually quite pleased with it.

 

I learned a lot, I created something that is definitely usable (and reusable!) and it basically fits.

 

The future is already here, as earlier today I took shears to my prototype muslin and added princess seams to the sides.

 

Do I know what I'm doing? No, of course not, but I found a nice blog post. :)

 

I'd tried darks and they looked ridiculous. Ripped them out. The curved seams look much better and create a very nice fit on the sides.

 

Of course, it threw off the leg opening, so I had to add three inches in the middle, cut three inches off the tail, and now I think the neck is too tight. Again.

 

My next project might be to ditch the undercarriage piece and see if I can get get the sides worked out - with the neck and upper chest.
