Rocker Vest

My 7-year-old
channeling her inner rocker

I was so happy with the Rocker Pants I made, I decided to make a vest as well.  NOT to match the pants!  Please do not think that these two items were every intended to be worn together, okay?  Okay.  Moving on.  For the vest, I wanted to stay true to the "feel" of the rocker pants, so I stuck with denim and leather for the fabrics.  I created the pattern for the vest and got to work adding pockets, patches, spray paint, snaps, and hand-sewn stitching details.  I really love how the vest turned out.  I wanted it to be edgy, but also look finished and clean.  It's for the more established rocker whose stage apparel has moved past the $2 vest he found at Goodwill when he was in college...Not that there's anything wrong with that!  I love me some Goodwill. But there is a time for the $2 Goodwill vest, and there is a time for a one-of-a-kind, custom, rocked-out vest that was made just for you.  Well, not you.  It was made just for John Corabi, but you get the point.  ;-)
