Made this orange waistcoat for my dad, at his request and payment, and using the fabric of his choice (orange upolstry fabric and grey lining). It wasn't difficult but it took about 2 days during which I nearly keeled over and wept out of tiredness. I drew around my dad's shirt, then made a mock up, which he tried on. I made some alterations until he was happy with it. I changed the pattern pieces, and cut out the real fabric and lining. I sewed the front and back pieces together in both the outer and lining material but left the shoulders unsewn and the bottom unhemmed. I then sewed the outer and lining together right sides facing, then turned it inside out. I then sewed up the shoulders and hemmed the bottom. Unfortunately my memory card broke and I lost the pictures I took whilst making the waistcoat, so no jazzy step by step. But here's the final product.
