I'll sew you

I don't mean to make you all jealous or anything....but.....well, how shall I put this..... LOOK WHAT I GOT!! Ain't this fantastic?!

However, I do like it very much and that's the main point right? This is made from the same, and very much loved, fabric as the blue vest of my previous post. I think it is fun to show them next to each other. (In fact I always think about them as a pair, don't know why that is). The only thing that can be said about the purple one is that it has an interesting neckline. It's hard to tell in this picture but the line from the leftshoulder (left when worn) goes all the way to the sleeveseam. In fact, the right shoulder is just a little piece that's sewed on top of that line. It's a nice feature but as I said, it's the only fea...
