Double Faced Italian Wool Vest and Cotton Trade
Shirt For his first Rendezvous and for the Wild
West party, I made this outfit for my friend Caleb. The wool
used for the vest was from some left over pieces I had from the
Double-Faced Heavy Wool Cape
project and was based on a basic vest pattern for a multitude of
sources. I finished the edges off with hand sewn blanket
stitch and 100% wool yarn. I first sewed the button holes
using the machine, and then covered them with the yarn. The
shirt was from pattern ? and is one of the simplest to make. I
accidentally excluded the collar, but as he will soon be growing out
of it and I will have to make another anyway, it hasn't really
mattered. Just to note, in the last picture, I made both the
moccasins and the pouch he is wearing.
