Well guess what folks! I'm actually working on this again! I'm aiming to have the whole costume together for Halloween, so I'm sort of doing this a little rougher than I originally hoped, but it's looking pretty decent considering how much money I'm putting into it. (About $30)
I ran over to Goodwill today and picked up a couple sweaters. This beige one is going to be the bulk of the vest, and I bought a black one to use as the trim. I started by cutting the arms off. I later cut off the bottom too.
I don't really have the time/money to get fabric printed or anything, so I basically printed the pattern on plastic, cut out a stencil, and used a black fabric marker to transfer the pattern to the sweater.
Up close it doesn't look fantastic, but it'll work.
Looking pretty good so far! I'm just holding the trim onto the vest to get an idea of what it will look like. The waistband is missing in this picture.
Should be ready to go by the end of the week. I'll be working on the trim and waistband tomorrow!
