Buttercream trapunto short vest - a photo on Flickriver

I blogged about this item here:
iwillflydesign.blogspot.com/2011/10/detail-oriented.html

Something I have wanted to play with for a long time, Trapunto (or "Italian Quilting") using a contrasting cording under a light colored fabric.

This is the Organ Grinder vest design but in ivory wool blend suiting worked with black cording in the trapunto technique for a subtle color contrast. Not as much dimension in the design as I would like because the suiting had to be pressed hard over it, I will definitely use this embellishment technique again, though I think I will use a different fabric next time to negate this effect.
Lined and underlined in unbleached cotton. Out of the six seam lines on this vest I managed to perfectly match five of them with the trapunto pattern. Annoying, I don't know how I missed the last one!
