Waistcoat done!

Posted on May 22, 2011 by Trystan
finished waistcoat

Finished waistcoat embroidery

After spending most of the weekend in Napa, I finished embroidering the other half of Leonard’s waistcoat. Whew, managed to mirror it pretty well! Have to assemble it all now and add some finishing embroidery touches.

Now he just needs, oh, a coat, breeches, a shirt, shoes, a wig … y’know, little things! Managed to mirror the waistcoat fronts pretty well. Of course, even the waistcoat isn’t done yet, as I have to actually sew it into a garment and then do the finishing embroidery around the edges.

And make the rest of the outfit, duh.

I do have a pair of stockings clocked with powder blue that I bought at Williamsburg. So, uh, yay, I have something else done.
