Nikki's Waistcoat

Nikki has been working on her Alpaca Tweed Waistcoat

for several months. Nearing the finishing line

it was the waistcoat hem and buttonholes this week.

Just removing tacks, lining hem and press finishing.

It looks really stylish!

Well done Nikki! for your patience and perseverance.

It was supposed to be a beginners waistcoat but with

a cowl collar and made in alpaca it has had its

challenges.

Alpaca Waistcoat

There are so many different types of medias being undertaken

@The Gallery it's wonderful.

Nikki is coming along to use the fabric she has had spun

from her Alpaca Herd. The fabric is lovely to touch and to work with.

She is making a waistcoat, very suit like in it's construction

and look. After a few funnies the other week,

we got out the sewing dummy and are fitting it!
