A good day with my needles and pins



Yesterday I pieced together my waistcoat for my City and Guilds course.  I was pleased with how much I managed to do, I finished the top stitching and then did a sample of the  bound button holes, the sample I did went well.

 So I decided to work on the fabric, it was slow going but I think they are all OK! I found working in the navy on a dull day quite difficult, another time I think a good sunny day would be better.  Even with two good lights over the work it still made it extremely difficult.

Once the button holes were completed, I put on the back belt and started to stitch the side seams.






Once the lining is in tomorrow I will take a picture of the finished waistcoat to show off my work.  I am really pleased with the way it is turning out. Now I need to turn my attention to my jacket.
