Description

I had some random scraps of unwanted fabric from a slipcover my aunt made, and was in the mood for making a vest! The pattern is perfect for that kind of thing, because the pieces are small and easy to fit in. Since the fabric is kind of a thick denim type, lining wasn’t necessary. The inside is beautifully finished with the use of a serger, special thanks to my auntie Dana! I did change the neckline so that it didn’t include the flap. Otherwise, I kept true to the pattern.

    The floral makes it so girly! Nice job. I’ve been wanting to make a vest for work, but I always feel so masculine in them! Thanks for the feminine inspiration!

    I really like your version of this pattern. All the other ones are so dark and office-wear looking, but this makes me think of weddings and Molly Ringwald and spring and other fun things.

      Thank you! I love it when I can change a pattern’s look just with fabric…also, it makes me think of Molly Ringwald too!

    Gorgeous…the whole outfit is lovely, with the addition of the pearls especially. I also adore your curls! ;) I am 17 also but very much a novice – thank you for the inspiration!

    wow you certainly disproved my idea of the franzi being suited for only dull fabric. It’s so gorgeous

    really great job again! I think of make the franzi vest again, but like you with a thinner fabric.

    @polychromatin: I think it’s not shortend. my vest end near the waist, too.

    Wow, looks again great. I never thought of a patterned fabric for the franzi vest, but it looks good! You did shorten the vest, didn’t you? I’m making a Franzi vest right now, too :)

    to be honest, I wasn’t that interested in Franzi but your creation makes me reconsider. You accessorise it well too. Very feminine, well done!
