For
this Sahara vest and long
skirt I used Taupe Sueded Rayon. The vest fabric was made by
using a "quilt 'n
shrink" technique that creates a great textured surface.
The beauty of making your own quilted fabric is you can use
it where you want to. I made the collar, hidden placket, armhole
binding and long skirt from the smooth sueded rayon. The matching
top is from Nepal without
the button plackets made from "Floral
Beige" batik rayon.
