I picked it off the jeans, cut it right down the middle, and used it for the front of the vest. It didn't quite fit the pattern piece, so I laid a plain piece of denim underneath to cut it out, then I satin stitched it into place with a decorative thread. That is the line of gold stitching at the bottom left.
And WOW, this made the cutest vest! I still need a skirt to go with this outfit, maybe out of the same denim.
I did break down and buy fabric for this little dress because at this point I'm kind of getting carried away by the whole project. Besides, I needed a knit for this dress and I didn't have anything suitable.
(sleeves aren't hemmed yet.)
All these pieces are from Simplicity 8041
I'm not done yet! I have knitted little crop sweater from a glittery red yarn which I will pair with a skirt from the red/white striped fabric so each girl will have one Christmasy dress-up outfit.
To be continued....
