My Life in Miniature

I finished another waistcoat recently!

The idea for this one largely came from the buttons; they came off an old cardigan of my nanna’s, and I thought putting them on a pink waistcoat would be a great idea.

The waistcoat is lined in this pretty pink floral cotton. I like the turquoise accents in the design!

I am particularly pleased with the collar, as this time I have finally got it looking nice.

I reinforced the roll line by sewing cotton tape underneath the roll line, so the collar knows where to fold. Combined with the stiffer fabric, this is my best collar yet.

Now I want to make the other two collars on my waistcoats sit this nicely, but that’s a lot of unpicking and reconstructing. Maybe in the next few years or so.

Anyways, see ya!
