Embellished Vest

Hi Everyone,

You can also use the butterfly that was previously posted.

I have not been able to get written text from my computer to the blog, so I had to type out the above instructions.  You will have to go to www.margarethubertoriginals.com  for the vest instructions.  Click on patterns, then click on free patterns.

Have fun.
