A few months ago, I noticed a trend of people wearing jean vests (please tell me it wasn't a passing trend and I'm already out of style). I really wanted one because it reminded me of my good old days as I had a great one in 1996, but I didn't want to pay $50.00. A friend mentioned to me that she just went to Value Village and got a jean jacket and removed the arms. I went, found a GAP one for $9.99, and my mother in law lovingly removed the arms and stiched it up for me.
Tada!
The only thing I would mention is that I should have gone for a medium rather than a large. If you end up making one, go smaller! Usually the arms are what are too tight for me, so with them gone, you can definitely go for a slimmer fit.
Have a great Thanksgiving weekend, everyone.
Love,
Louise
Great idea - looking good! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

ReplyDeleteCrazy that I met your Dad today! I kept looking at him knowing that I recognized him and certain it was him. I finally just had to go ask. We had a really nice chat and I realized again what a small world this is:)
I love you you talked to him! He's a chatty one. He's up there often so I'm glad the two of you met! He said my boys would've been similar to your boys at the front of church :)
