I need to know the thought procces that led to this
​What do you mean? Did I not make it clear enough in the drawings? Do you need a photo of all 23 waistcoats currently in my closet?
It's 26 if you count the 3 leaf bolero vests. This isn't even close to all the ones I've ever made, I've donated plenty of older ones to the theatre.
#sewing dinosaur please share your wisdom #i want nothing more than to make a waistcoat #but i tried once and it was super difficult #do you know any patterns or tutorials for beginners?
I have made videos on sewing several of the things in this picture! Here's a link to my youtube channel.
Though I'm not sure if I'd call them beginner friendly. I go over every technique VERY thoroughly, but I mostly do 18th century or 18th century inspired stuff, which includes a lot of hand sewing and completely different tailoring techniques from what you'll find in modern waistcoats.
The first of the 3 leaf boleros I make in this one is pretty simple though, so that ought to be fairly beginner friendly. (The light green one)
You could make a super basic waistcoat with the same sewing and turning method and just add some buttons & holes. (I have tutorials for covered buttons and buttonholes too if you want to do those by hand.)
OH also! That brown monster print waistcoat in the closet picture is a print I designed that's available on Spoonflower.
That one's got more machine sewing than the brocade one in the first video, but I haven't made a video about that method yet. My most recent leaf one is machine sewn and turned, but hasn't got any pockets.
Edit: Forgot to mention my sewing blog is @vincentbriggs
I love the dinosaur edge detail on the white one!
That one's light grey!
And I can understand the confusion since I posted it on this blog, but they're monsters or perhaps creatures.
