I always think that when a project goes bad, that means the next one is going to be really good. If the vest is truly beyond repair, your lovely tweed is still not worthless. Cut it into usable pieces and get rid of all traces of the vest!orange flower: sketchbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612654107732556728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6788067537879713934.post-22059727798054839942008-08-04T22:44:00.000-04:002008-08-04T22:44:00.000-04:00Oh so sad!
