Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Grey and Hot red waistcoat. I must admit this was not really easy for me. The lining did give me a little bit of a headache but I am really proud of it and had a few compliments which really boosted my confidence. I am definately going to try another one with different fabrics.
I recommend you all to try it as it is something you can wear for work or for smart casual.
Material Notes
Light suit Material I got as a real bargain for £1 per metre and a red pinstripe lining although you can't see that with from the pictures.

Looks really good on you. I like the fact that you can dress it up or down, it’s a versatile design.

This is awesome – it looks fantastic on you. I like how the red really defines the shape of the vest
