Finished Waistcoats

Yup, they’re done! Two waistcoats in three days; entirely hand sewn. Whew, I’m tired :P Tomorrow I will be starting on hubby’s new frock coat. I hope to have it finished by this weekend. We’ll see how far I get.

Mrs. Cartwright’s amazing buttons! She made them for both waistcoats, the breeches, and his yet to be constructed frock coat.

Amazing - I suppose you hardly ever sleep! Two waistcoats in three days?!?
I love the striped one best and Mrs Cartwright's buttons are beautiful!

Looking forward to seeing the finished frock coat;)

They are gorgeous! You are so, sooo fast. Mrs. Cartwright's buttons are perfect...you don't see the deathhead buttons on many reproduction garments and I think they add such a special touch!

Lovely! What patterns do you use for the waistcoats and frock coat?
