Vest with Curves

In the Spring 2004 edition of Quilting Arts Magazine, Ann Bowker presented a unique technique for a reversile vest.

I adapted it to handwoven and commercial fabric. It truly can be a one of a kind vest, for starting from a pattern that fits, you first will create your own design pattern of curves. You need to keep your wits about you, for you will be dealing with right and wrong sides, lefts and rights, fronts and backs and if you have diagonals going on in your cloth , you may want to be aware of what they are doing too!!
