Butterick 5888 Muslin

Two posts in one day?  Whoa, I don't think that has ever happened here, but I am feeling really productive tonight, I guess.  Here is a muslin of Butterick 5888, View F.  The pattern states it is "Two Hour Fast and Easy Sewing".  I agree!
View F is fully lined.  I have used a cotton batik, gifted to me, from my stash for the outside, and a denim-colored cotton twill for the lining.  This pattern has you leave the side seams open for turning, which worked out great.  I haven't actually made the buttonhole yet.  I am hoping to be able to check the fit with my friend tomorrow before doing so.  Then we will move on to to making this in a fashion fabric of her choice, if the design is something she ends up liking.  I'll keep you posted.

That is cute! I like the colors of both this vest (a muslin? too nice) and your bag in the previous post.

That is one of my all-time favorite vest patterns.

The shape is so flattering.
