I made this for my sister for her birthday the day after Christmas. She is a plus size lady so it is hard sometimes to find things that are comfortable to sit at a desk all day. She is very short so it makes a regular sweater almost an impossibility to make as a surprise. The school theme is because she works for her local school system. You can’t see the buttons so I took pics of them as well. The apples are on the pockets and the schoolhouse is the closure.
it looks great. I love the buttons. Your sister is going to be nice and comfy in it 
Very very nice!
What a nice project.
Cute buttons! It looks great!
What a thoughtful gift.
Sister will love it–those buttons are a great touch!
OH my gosh! How cute and pretty! Your sister will absolutely love this. I like that color, and the buttons are so cute!
NICE work!

What a lovely gift! My aunt is a just retired teacher and she had several school sweaters, they usually had themes. The kids love them!
That’s a really nice vest. Nice work, great color, and I love the buttons and schoolhouse clasp. They add a personal touch. !
Very pretty. I love the color, and the buttons are just perfect. What a great gift and what a thoughtful sister!
Thanks to everyone. A lot of you said how thoughtful it was, but I imagine sooner or later my family is going to get sick of getting knitting from me! 
I keep finding things to make! I guess when you have only time on your hands you have to fill it with something so why not knit!!!:woot:
It looks great and I love the buttons… she is going to love it!! :happydance:
That is such a nice gift! And the buttons you’ve chosen are the BEST! I love it 
Well thought out gift! Your sister ought to really appreciate that.
I’m sure your family will never tire of receiving hand-knit stuff. The vest is beautiful – so well made.
I love the colour and the buttons just finish the whole item off nicely. Your sister will certainly love this.
