Getting good at this... A client from my dayjob asked where I got my smock from, so I swiftly offered to make him one, and that was my first 'order'; never miss an opportunity
Same as mine but in a smaller size, with full zip and a storm flap, with double layers at the shoulders and lower front torso. I also lowered the lower pockets further so he can wear it with a rucksack without clashes between the belt and the pockets.
Ventile L24 in Antique Bronze. It would probably look better in sand yellow, but I couldn't find it in the UK. I only had my size pattern here, so I altered it on the fabric. Chuffed with how it turned out!
Next up, I will make me one in olive green, but a larger size as the one I have now is for limited layers underneath and I look like an overfilled sausage if layering for winter.
I really hope I will inspire folk to make their own clothes, it really is amazingly fulfilling and it only takes a little practice and an old sewing machine from ebay!
