i finished my DIY vest project :) ::suuuuper excited:: i was surprised i got it done so quickly... my baby came home from work and when i told him i had finished it even he said he didn't think i was gonna get it all done by today lolz... then i tried to explain the boring details to him about how i was using a dumb-ass stitch the first 60% of the vest then finally smartened up which is what sped me up... anywho... here is the finished product ladies and gents... i am extremely happy with the results... could not have asked for better ;D if you guys have any questions about what i did or the materials i used... just ask :) (sorry no "before" shots... it was just the plain black vest with no embellishments)
