Did you see the tutorial for the
Frontier Vest on MADE? Super cute. Oscar loves dress up, but our collection mostly consists of Ruby's tu-tu's at this point. While we are equal opportunity fun around here (no boy-stuff/girl-stuff yet), it was time to beef things up.
The faux cowhide came from one of my favorite old skirts. In high school, I was a big fan of animal prints. :) I've been saving it for years for just this kind of project! The denim came from a pair of my husband's jeans and the khaki from another old skirt, so this project was entirely refashioned.
I used
Dana's template but added extra seam allowance at all the finished seams.
Ruby's vest was actually a happy mistake. I printed the template to the wrong size, and plowed ahead despite it looking rather small. Luckily it turned out to be a perfect 12 month size!
My kids are not at a happy picture-taking stage. Ruby can't sit still and Oscar is just kind of uncooperative. Even with a bribe, this is the best I could get.
Have a great weekend!
