Description

After a LONG drought of not sewing or patterning, I’ve finally made something. I saw a shirt that had a similar cascade neckline and just had to try it out. there are both front and back armhole princess panels. I still need to add a button, and hem it properly. One thing I would do differently is make the cascade and the collar into one piece, so I don’t have that ugly seam in the front. I’m pretty satisfied overall, despite my horrible machine that doesn’t sew properly.

Material Notes

The fabric is called "Denim Heather Solid." I bought it from Joanns, I want to say it's cotton, but I'm not sure.

Myself, drafted the pattern from scratch.

    Wow fab design!! I would love to see this design adapted into a dress! Great to hear that your have dusted off your sewing machine and with designs like that I think you should treat yourself to a new machine or maybe get your current one looked at…. what a talent!

    Very, very nice design. I agree on the collar, but I suspect you will change that if you make it again.

    OH! It’s wonderful! I really like vests, and I’ve never seen such a vest like that, it’s stylish! Please add a pattern or a how to, please! I couldn’t have found any pattern of a vest… And how did you make cascade? It’s really great:D
