Here are the latest set of sewing pictures from making my waistcoat. There are still a couple finishing touches that I may work on later, if I do, I'll post them at that time.
 |
| Notice the buttonholes for the collar, I didn't have time before my event to sew on the buttons, so I sewed the top of the waistcoat shut. I'll eventually revisit the topic to add buttons |
 |
| To determine where I was going to place the button holes, I made a guide out of black thread that I loosely stitched into place. |
 |
| Using the guide, I sewed the buttonholes. |
 |
| I then cut out the buttonholes using a seam ripper and my scissors. The tricky part with this step was removing the black thread... I had to use my finger nails and the seam ripper to pull the pieces out of the stitching. |
 |
| Next, I worked on the back closure... I decided to try using a ribbon... it seems to have worked decently well. |
 |
Sewing the ribbon closure together.
A couple of items I may add later: - Sewing to finish closing inside of waistcoat
- Inner tab(s) to hook onto trouser buttons to keep waistcoat from riding up during wear
- Buttons to top/collar
- etc.

More to come! |
