DIY: DOPE MEN SEW LATEST STYLE

DIY: SIMPLICITY PATTERN 4762 MODIFIED

Take a look at my latest DIY project; tartan double breasted waistcoat…

I’m so DAMN EXCITED about my tartan double breasted waistcoat my girl Mimi is going to have to hear me talk about it for the next few weeks LOL!!

I had the tartan pants for years that I purchased from a vintage store and wanted the vest in the same print because I love tartan so much. I’m having so much fun creating pieces that actually look good lol and it keeps me confident every time I start a new project. I modified the Simplicity Pattern 4762 a little by changing the shape of the front, as well as, adding working whelp pockets.

I hope you like this vest just as much as I do so please give me feedback by leaving comments below.

    […] minute since I’ve made a waistcoat and the only other time was when I first started to sew (see post here). So I pulled out that very same pattern and tried out a different design that has a lapel added […]
