Note	Made in Wool and canvas. It was a ‘deadstock’ fabric, of which, by carefully shoving the pattern I could create this vest. As I already made this vest, I did change the neckline. I made bound buttonholes in the contrasting canvas. The vest is fully lined. I Made a pleat at the centre back to create some ease. Though ‘made to measure’ the pattern did not fit at all: I had to take a whopping 12 cm off the waist, which is Lekala’s error – as I had given my exact measurements. Of course I only found that out when the vest was finsised. So I had to unpick the lot again. Acrually, this is a 4 star pattern, minus 1 for the size error. The matching skirt is Lekala 4877.
