ABSTRACT

This chapter covers the final making up of waistcoats after the fitting. It takes you through the process of making pockets and flaps, adding canvas, putting together of backs to fronts, finishing the skirts and lining.

It concludes with the final finishing, buttons, buttonholes and decoration.

You will find that there will be more hand sewing than machining. This will give you greater control over the garment and lend a more authentic feel and look.
