This gilet was nuno felted onto cotton scrim with merino and silk "flowers". I made yardage then cut to my own pattern. FME and hand stitching applied to the, felted flowers and an applied pocket made from merino and dyed silk hankie with silk leaves, again some FME and hand stitching. Some silver charms and a signature to complete. flic.kr/p/vb7Ysiflic.kr/p/w7kZLuflic.kr/p/w8ptw6 |

Its' fab Judith! The colours work so well with the silver too.
I reckon making yardage then sewing with it is the best way to go - no shrinkage headaches!

Judith, the gilet (or vest in the USA) is lovely. I like the clean lines, the simplicity. I have never made yardage before. Is the scrim (I think cheesecloth in USA) hidden by the merino?

Lovely gillet, Judith. I like the pockets with flowers and I've just noticed there is also your signature. Very nice indeed.

Beautiful Judith, the FME works wonderfully to bring the flowers alive and centre-stage.

Thank you all for the comments. Cathy, yes, the scrim is on the inside. I've since added a lining and a bit of FMQ.  |

Hi Judith, your vest is beautiful!!! Like others, I love the pockets. I also like how you used the flowers sparingly, so they don't overwhelm the beautiful white felt.
