Why I only manage to finish things at the last possible moment I do not know. But back here I had the silk all washed, then I cut it out. Last weekend I sewed the vests and prepped the bow ties but somehow it took till today to do the finishing. Putting on the buttons and then finishing the ties.But the result looks great. They both have fully reverseable waistcoats in Thai silk. One side is plain - Jakob has a gorgeous blue and Eli the deep crimson you see, the other side is patterned. Jakob has the stripe and Eli has a multi check. They both ordered lots of bow ties. So I sewed them three each for a choice.
You will see more photos next week once we have been to our Victorian Weekend.

ReplyDeleteCute! I have boys too and am always sad I can't embellish them, but this would be a great way to add a little manly pizzaz :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous little vests for the boys! and so cool that they are reversible too!
