So, I found a waistcoat at my local thrift store a few weeks ago, and loved it so much I decided to make my own waistcoat that was even better. Last Friday, I sewed on the last button, and today, it got photographed!
Both the pockets on the front work, as you would probably expect from me at this point. They don’t fit a phone, but smaller items fit in them quite nicely.
It’s lined with scraps left over from my Captain Marvel pants, because I love having a contrasting lining!
I also hand-bound the buttonholes, which is a technique I’m slowly getting better at.
To go in one of the pockets, I bought myself a pocket-watch a few weeks ago, which completes the whole ‘look’!
Next time, I’d make it a size smaller, because this has been taken in quite a bit at the sides and back. In the meantime, however, I shall be wearing it as much as possible! It might be my new favourite piece of clothing….
Anyways, see ya!

Love that vest and the care you’ve taken in choosing the buttons. x

Thank you! I thought the shield-like buttons matched the superhero fabric lining. š
