A Jacket or vest?

Description

It is revived from an old long skirt. I cut off the length below hip and use the cut-off fabric for a wrap style v-neck and sleeves.

Wool

this is really cute! did you use a pattern? (if so, may i ask what kind?)

Hi, Kristen, I am glad that you like it; I used only the neck , bodice, and sleeve parts of Simplicity Sewing Pattern 5091 (Dress with six neck and hem), the lower part is an upper part of my skirt.

stoked about flickr up for swap!

I like this so much! I've never seen a wrap-style top done in that kind of wooly fabric, and it works here really well! And props to you for recycling/repurposing, too.

Good thinking! I love the idea of wool plaid for a top.
