I love this new addition to my wardrobe. The only thing left to do is to shop for buttons. I Have no idea what kind of button I want for this vest.  Maybe a plain black, or maybe something with a little bit of silver.</p>
<p>Sewing this vest was a great experience.  I used a shiny black embroidery thread for my topstitching.  I also like the way the armholes look. There is no draglines under the armhole at the back of the shoulder. No matter how hard I&#8217;ve tried in the past I always had those excess wrinkles under the shoulder blade, showing that I have sloping shoulders.  </p>
<p>But not any more&#8230;I used the easy to use shoulder template to re-draw the slope of my shoulder, this is defnitely a &#8220;fool proof tool&#8221; each sewer should have on their cutting table.  This video is available to all Perfect Sew And Fit Elite Members <a href="http://www.perfectsewandfit.com/forum/index.php?topic=712.0">here</a>: to view the shoulder template video and have greater success with your sewing projects.</p>
<p>The vest I used had a armhole princess, I used the princess video for the step by step bust adjustement instructions.  To view the video <a href="http://perfectsewandfit.com/how-to-fit-and-sew-a-shoulder-prinsess-blouse/">click here</a></p>
<p>I also used <a href="http://perfectsewandfit.com/sewingvests/">this vide</a>o with easy to follow tips on how to line a vest, quick and easy &#8211; to view the video&#8217;s and to see how easy it is to line a vest <a href="http://perfectsewandfit.com/sewingvests/">click here</a></p>
<p>I hope others would be able to use these video&#8217;s to make their sewing experience a greater success.<br />
Happy Sewing to All.</p>

<p>Don&#8217;t toss your used dryer sheets.  Use them as a press cloth.</p>
<p>I received this wonderful tip from one of our members on the forum.  </p>
<p>She uses dryer sheet for pressing when she work with interfacing.  Well, I had to press some Gabardine  yesterday and decided to give the dryer sheets a chance.  I was pleasantly surprised to see how quick and easy it was. The dryer sheet is a tad bit bigger than my iron, and it was easy and quick to press my fabric.</p>
