In case anyone's wondering just when I started this project - my files indicate it was back towards the middle of August. Final reveal shots were done in the back yard yesterday morning. I'm still trying to figure out all the settings on this camera 😂
I'm just really surprised how much mileage I've gotten from this fabric! A corset, a vest, a tie-on pocket...It's possible I have enough to make a reticule out of the scraps. Not bad for a cheap sale flocked poly-blend. 😃
Ah yes... the Labyrinth vest! One must not forget the great "L" movies: Labyrinth, Legend, Ladyhawke, The Last Unicorn.... truly they all shaped my clothing tastes back in the day. Love the vest!
I love your style. I love , love, love your dry sense of humor! Your blouse came out great. Your vest is gorgeous. I agree, the texture is beautiful. I simply adore your smile. It so lights up your face. Thank you for sharing, everything. You are a treasure. You share yourself, on your journey. Not many are brave enough to do that. You are. 😊
Look in the upholstery area for tapestry fabrics. Here in New Zealand there is usually a good selection. The fabric isn't too thick to use if you use a thin lining. Enjoy
Bianca is an excellent teacher! Great job! 👍 Love it . If later you decide you need to make a tapestry vest I advise to wash the fabric first as it shrinks a lot! But then it's good and you can wash and it's good. And for me add a little adjustable belt in the the back at the dart area and it will look on point 😘🍁
I often wish I had room for a blue pattern table of doom. 😃 Bianca is one of my few must-watch TH-cam Costumers, particularly as I'm trying to learn how to draft my own outfits.
It looks fab! I'm glad the waistcoat got it's own video after teasing it last time. It turns a shirt into an outfit! I had several tapestry ones back in the day, when my wardrobe was half durgy green & brown paisley prints, & half oversized, pastel pullovers, ties & skinny jeans.
@@MaireColclough An interesting bit of socio-economic history came out when my parents, especially my father, wouldn't let me borrow any of their clothes. They had both grown up in poor, migrant families, coming from Britian to Australia early in the Edwardian era, & sharing clothes was seen as a mark of dire poverty. They both were the first people in their families to go to university & get professional jobs, so I was fortunate to grow up without any financial worries. Their long-held, social rules often didn't make any sense to me, at the time.
The little CBC 'boops' are slaying me. Especially after seeing the Tickle Trunk at the Can Museum of History last weekend. Yes to vests, yes to all of the vests. Watching BB put hers' together is what, obstensively, got me into sewing in the first place. Well done, it came out lovely. And yeah, tapestry fabric with the romantic buttons is something that needs to happen. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
Well, I figure if they decide to push through Bill C-11, I might as well be ON the CBC....without the reach of its audience. I'm STILL trying to figure out the ramifications of that possible clusterflock. 🤔 Hooray for the Tickle Trunk!

Your enthusiasm of vintage 80’s in every century is uplifting. My own garderobial tastes can’t process things after the early 60’s, but on other people I like seeing brightly coloured nostalgia. Pearly plastic buttons or not. The trouble is, that for authentic feel old fantasy movies need to be watched from over used copies-of-copies VHS tapes, where you can almost make out what is happening and sometimes things go all wonky. Usually right at the most interesting moments.(My escapism-of-choice was Williow. Madmartigan could still probably make me swoon.)
Now you just have to make a little worm that peeps out of your fence to say "' 'allo!" The vest looks wonderful. That black fabric is perfectly goblin-adventury.
@@MaireColclough {groan!} I stumbled across another stash of yet more knitting needles and yarn I'd entirely forgotten about, yesterday when looking out some needles to loan to a visiting friend...
I highly enjoyed Labyrinth and I love your adventuring ensemble! I love vests, too. I have knitted ones, crocheted ones... Could be a tapestry one in my near future!
Thank you! That turned out beautifully! Hmmm, tapestry fabric... I think I have some tapestry fabric with teddy bears that I bought...in the '80's! Yes, it might be time to drag it out and make it up before it (and I) get any older.
Looks awesome! When I made a "Sarah" vest, I bought plain champagne satin, a large stamp with a scroll motif, and fabric painted the print on. I knew I wouldn't find anything remotely close in stores
I've been wanting to sew a vest for myself, and yours is just about perfect for my shape. I'll have to refer back to the closet historian's video also. Oh, and I wanted to tell you your garibaldi blouse is beautiful. Nicely done.
You remind me of the babe 😉😉 Your cutting skills are amazing! I'm more of a close enough type person. I'm sure it would drive any OCD person absolutely batty! Personally I'd rather they come organize my house for me than watch my cutting skills and tell me how badly they suck. Believe me I already know. I'm totally crushing over your vest though. I'm no stranger to making them. Every year for Christmas pictures for the past 10 years I have made matching vests for my boys and a dress for my daughter to wear for Christmas pictures. With the exception of last year when my little girl turned into a moody hormonal teenager and demanded that I not put her in another cutesy dress and wanted nothing to do with Christmas pictures. Thank God Almighty for history bounding. I put that girl in a vest and made a quick skirt. Bought a long sleeve blouse off Amazon and a pin for a brooch and voila moody hormonal teenager is happy. Where's my easy button? I love how your vest came out so much, that I think I'm going to stop procrastinating on making my vest that I've been promising myself for awhile now. Mostly because said moody hormonal teenager daughter is going to her first formal and wants me to make her dress. It's the first weekend of November and she still doesn't know what she wants 🤦🏼♀️ So while she's being indecisive, I think I'm going to get my David Bowie fix, turn on the Labyrinth and make my own vest. Though I will be using a pattern from Black Snail instead of TV. The instructions are infinity better. I can finish the Silmarilian on Audible later. Because baby said . . . 😜😁😂❤
I'll have to see how Black Snail's pattern sizing measures up..but it definitely sounds like Mum needs to put herself first and make a vest to the saucy tunes of David Bowie while the kiddo is being indecisive 😄
I have this exact waistcoat pattern and looking forward to make many waistcoats in the future. Not sure it is necessary to wear a corset or shape wear with it though in order for it to fit - don't recall seeing it on the website but then again I sometimes gloss over text if I deem it too much for my brain to comprehend 🤣

That's a really smart way to make a pattern work harder and earn its keep and the fabric choices, as usual, are spot on.

All fun movies 😃
I definitely wouldn't be against velvet flocking on my shiny black fabric myself, you're absolutely correct.

I've been avoiding my local source for inexpensive upholstery fabric....it's dangerous for my wallet 😉
All my teenage years. I still have my waistcoat (on which I don't fit anymore) in Provençal fabric.
Sounds like a keeper to me 😃
As soon as you mentioned the black flocking, my brain needed me to touch it! I love material like that, and it looks fabulous!
Texture is always important 😁
Bianca is an excellent teacher! Great job! 👍 Love it . If later you decide you need to make a tapestry vest I advise to wash the fabric first as it shrinks a lot! But then it's good and you can wash and it's good. And for me add a little adjustable belt in the the back at the dart area and it will look on point 😘🍁
PS I watch Closet Historian with her blue pattern table of doom too!

16 year old me would have definitely worn that outfit.
Maybe 48 year old me should consider adding a vest to Ye Olde Project Queue.
I will be happy to be your unabashed enabler in this project addition 😂

ha! I've considered it! 😃
@@MaireColclough I'm not surprised.😄
Nice bit of top-stitching there. It gives such a lovely crisp look to the edges.
It turned out quite nicely thanks to all those knitting needles I have stashed away 😉

Glad it was helpful!😃

@@MaireColclough How well you know your clan!
Love the vest!! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you1
Looks awesome! When I made a "Sarah" vest, I bought plain champagne satin, a large stamp with a scroll motif, and fabric painted the print on. I knew I wouldn't find anything remotely close in stores
I still keep my eyes peeled, but I'm OK with my own variation on the theme 🙂
Very nice. Thanks so much ❤
Love it! 💣 💜. Bianca rocks, too 😎
Love it!! And I am so here for the future floral vest too, because that is a need!
Eventually... 😁
I used to wear vests in the 80s and early 90s. Cool. Happy Thanksgiving from BC!
Thank you!

Looks great definitely got the 80’s vibe going!
And to think I spent the 80s trying to get OUT of the 80s... 😁
