I decided to make a sparkly waistcoat for Mick, for his Ukulele gigs. The grey flannel one I made previously does not really cut it for christmas parties.
I had a piece of neoprene type fabric which I had long intended making an evening bag from.
Again I used the waistcoat pattern from the second Great British Sewing Bee book.
The neoprene is quite hard to turn under and took a great many pins to tame into shape.
Close up pinning.
The top sewing was difficult but very rewarding as it came out well.
The back is a piece of black satin I had and the lining is simple black cotton.
He did not want buttons as it will always be worn open.
It is a lovely midnight blue colour and the sparkles are very subtle.
