I had the opportunity to try out some fabric from Water Tower Textiles, a new Canadian fabric shop.
Now, so you know, I did receive the fabric for free in exchange for a review, be it good or bad.
This is my own honest opinion of the fabric.
One of my sons likes to layer his clothes and will often be wearing two shirts.
I thought it'd be a good time to sew him a vest so he can layer a little more stylishly.
It's a quick sew in a wide range of sizes: 12 months to 14!
Snaps make it even faster.
I debated putting buttons or snaps on it and then finally asked my son what he'd prefer...snaps it was.
The fabric I used is from Water Tower Textiles.
It's the Blue Ocean French Terry in bamboo with matching ribbing.
The fabric washes up nice the first wash. I have to see how it holds up to a large number of washings yet, to give it a fair review.
The ribbing comes in a tube, and I did have to piece the ribbing together in the back to get the right length for the neckline/front for the size 7.
The French Terry is warm and soft--perfect for a fall day.
Very nice look! I made my toddler son a Dashing Vest for his dressy holiday outfit last year, and he loved it so much he requested I make another in blue French terry...which I still haven't gotten around to doing, oops.
ReplyDeleteha yeah my older son requested one without snaps/buttons so he could use it as cowboy dress up ;)
