I started having contractions on Tuesday so I went to see my doctor. He told me to get some rest and relax for the next two days and not to worry because it doesn't look like I will go into pre-term labor (I'm only 27 weeks). I listened to him and stayed in bed so I only got a little prep work done Tuesday evening.
I spent 20 minutes on Tuesday night sewing the fronts to the back and pining the fur and lining together. While pinning I noticed that the back pattern piece is slightly curved like a slight "w" instead of being straight. I didn't like the curved look so I trimmed the back to make it straighter and less curved.
On Wednesday afternoon I felt a bit better and I spent a little time sewing up the vest (using my walking foot). I still have to handstitch the turning opening shut but that can wait. Later in the evening I felt up to making dinner so I snuck into my sewing room (while dinner was on the stove) and assembled the bodice for the baby geranium dress. We will see how tomorrow goes...I started to feel a little strange after eating dinner so I've been resting since.

You can find the free pattern and tutorial for this vest here.
The supplies I used for this project were left over from another fur vest that I made as a gift for a toddler, so I really made a two-fur here! Ha ha ha...get it? A two-fur...just a little play on words there. I believe I only paid $7 for the lining and fur material at JoAnns, which isn't too bad for two fur vests. :)
