    Re: Waistcoat

    Elf: I still have 3 yards left. I may make another one. I'm not sure if you can see it in the picture but I left an iron print in the front right side trying to flatten the darts. That was stupid but it's done.

    piperdbh: I wanted to make it without the welts altogether but my mom said it wouldn't look right. I don't think it looks right having them that close to the bottom after shortening the pattern. I also suggested moving the up and she said that wouldn't look right either. I can do it on my own now so I can experiment to find what I like. She won't know about it until I'm done.

    That's a smashing blue waistcoat! I love the blue satin lining and the reinforcing(?) of the shoulders. Can you tell I am not a seamster? Love the buttons, too.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
