I made this vest using a thin woolen fabric and cotton kimono fabric for the lining. The buttons are a made from kimono fabric captured in resin – I think they add a great touch to the overall look! I bought both buttons and kimono material (and earrings and hair clip) from BBBeads (online purchase at www.bbbeads.com.au). I’m very happy with the way this turned out!

Gorgeous! Everything came together so wonderfully. Your craftsmanship is excellent, and satisfying to look at too. Looking at beautiful seams, pressing, and details is a simple pleasure for me:)
