Binding: Paper
The perfect accessory to add a bold splash of color or a note of
drama to almost any outfit, the vest has been around for four
centuries and still remains one of the most versatile of all
garments. Embellished with embroidery, applique, paint, buttons,
beads, ribbons, cording, and more, vests afford all sorts of
opportunities for creative expression, as demonstrated here in 20
exquisite step-by-step projects. Ten of these are transformations
of plain store-bought vests into extraordinary customized items;
the other ten are based on vests made from scratch, with all
basic patterns included (on enlargeable grids). But if you're
more interested in the decorative aspects than in sewing your own
garments, just about all the methods can be adapted to pre-made
vests. The fourteen-page gallery of distinctive creations by
about two dozen artists offers some incredible ideas for vest
design and adornment, and the techniques section explores various
stitching and painting methods as well as pattern transfer,
explains construction and finishing how-tos, and gives ideas for
collar, pocket, and fastening details.
