I’m labelling this as finished even though it isn’t, it’s one of those projects that will never really be ‘finished’ as it’s going to continue to grow and evolve over time. But I’m marking it as finished because it’s wearable, see those mushroom panels on the sides? I slashed the sides of the vest open and sewed them in to make it larger. I’ve had this vest for over a decade and it was a perfect fit back then and, well, since then I’ve not only gained weight, but I’ve also started testosterone which has resulted in weight redistribution and moved some of the fat from my face and hips to my stomach, so it needed adjusting to be comfortable to wear.
I’ve also sewn on a bunch of patches, technically since I took these photos I’ve added another patch and painted a huge trans flag on the back of it. I really do love my vest and now that it’s getting cold I wear it over my black and red pokemon jacket for an extra layer of warmth.
