But
here are the pattern pieces laid out on the finished outer fabric
"quilt". Right before I cut through all those careful seams, praying the
whole way that the strips would stay attached to each other long enough
for me to finish their edges. There was a lot of excessively delicate
handling after those pieces were cut, to increase my chances.
Second
attempt at finishing the armscyes! Whipstitched, like the bottom hem. I
tried seaming them at the same time as I did the long front edge, but
when I tried to turn the vest I discovered that having both those seams
done creates a möbius sweater. Great for extra-dimensional beings, not
so great for humans. So I tore those out and repinned the edges to
enclose everything.
Also added pieces of shoelace just inside the
front edges to reinforce that area and give the buttons and
button-loops more support, since this is an extremely fitted garment and
I worried about tearing out the fabric. So tonight, buttons, loops, and
pockets. The entire point of the garment. Yes. Those.
