Description
I love to wear waistcoat and even on a dress I think it’s nice. I wanted to make this special and made embroidery on the one side. I have used overlock for the seams and I wanted seams to show as decoration. The small pockets are decoration as well, and the collar is a little special because it is just in front (not back). It’s based on pattern #2D Burda Easy Fashion 2008. The fabric is a polyester blend and similar to sports stretch and I have used satin for lining.
Material Notes
Poly blend and satin.

It looks really good and nicely done. Love the embroidery details, the fabric and color. I want to make a waistcoat for a long time, I have the pattern on hand and already chosen the fabric but still waiting on the line to make it :) Have a lovely weekend :-)

I just love the different color topstitching and embroidery. I don’t usually think about these kinds of finishing touches, so thank you for the inspiration.
