Hack and Whack - Vogue 8505 and 8125




Morphed into this vest!



I used the side seam lines of Sandra Betzina's Today's Fit 8125 OOP (out-of-print) View B to trim down the big rectangle we shall call 8505 View A.

Darted the top of the yoke into a shoulder seam...
And whacked, and whacked and whacked the shoulder edge so I didn't look like a Star Wars movie escapee. Third time's the charm.

It goes nicely with the View B top from Vogue 7799 Looks like I'm all set for Rodeo 2009!

Here's the back -- The design lines were great on 8505. . .

Yet the fit of View A just left much to be desired, at least on me.
And yes, I still have enough "leatha" to do some cool things with the scraps.
