Pattern Description:
This is a mens and boys vest and tie pattern. This time I am making the mens vest "a"
Pattern Sizing:
Picked mens Large
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, it looks like the view chosen "a"
Were the instructions easy to follow?
The instructions are super easy to follow... also found a full tutorial video on youtube of this exact pattern that was great...
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
So far I do not have any dislikes about this pattern. The pattern is great super easy to follow... There was a fair amount of handstitching in the finishing... no biggy though.
Fabric Used:
100% woven red wool for outer and regular lining material in a cream color for the inside.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
No changes were made.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I will sew it again... It is fairly quick to sew up even with handstitching the inside seams closed. Yes, I recommend it. I have made up the tie and the vest now... the tie I would recommend even to someone very new to sewing.
Conclusion:
I am pleased with the outcome. Hubby is pleased as well and it fits great making it according to his measurements with no adjustments made. I'll post a thumbnail after lunch.
