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