Hoodie Vest for Kate
I whipped this up last night (another Ottobre pattern). It's #3 from the Spring 2008 magazine. It went together pretty well. I'm very happy with the actual hood part. I gathered a little too much on the front panels, so the vest lifts up a little in the front. Oh well, I'll know better next time! I like the fabric on this vest; it's cotton but has a sateen finish. The inside is lined in fleece.

I hoot when you say "I whipped this up last night....or I whipped these up yesterday" I'm happy to be getting a preview of the things I will attempt to be sewing.
I cut all my fabrics for the cherry blossom quilt. Now I have to refigure all the flowers after I traced them on steam a seam and THEN NOTICED it said-increase by 200% I'm gonna eyeball it. I'll post pics. tomorrow.
Your stuff looks great. Where'd you get that super cute model? Nicole
