This vest was my first garment with buttonholes. I’m satisfied with how it came out. The only thing I would change if I did the Franzi vest a second time was the length of the back. I think it is a bit short.

It looks so very smart! You’ve inspired me to dig out my herringbone fabric and have a go at making the Franzi.

Looks great. The grey herringbone fabric works really well with the black everywhere else.
