Lastest sewing - summer Gilet

[John Fenna]

As the title says - I figured I needed more pockets (!) in my Spring/ Summer outfits - so I made this Rip Stop cotton Gilet
The chest pockets are sized for my glasses and not much more.

Light, comfortable and practical
Why has it come up side ways?????

Nice work - looks a good practical weskit for the warmer times. How is it with getting it on and off? do you have to lie sideways or just put it on before you get out of bed? side-entry zipper?

Great work John, looks very tidy.

Has anyone got a neck brace I can borrow?

 

[Seabass]

Do you have designs for your magnetic boots to stand like that?

 

[Toddy]

Tidy looking John

I know you've lost weight, but it looks like you need lead boots lad

You should visit Tony; you could sit in front of his fire!

Nice garment, it's a bit like the traditional English fly fishing waistcoat.

Nice waistcoat Mr Fenna. Nice and simple, too many are overly complicated. And it's put me in mind to dig out my old favourite which has been languishing too long in the hall press. Has a neoprene yolk to help spread the weight which is nice. Used to use it as a way to carry extra weight on plane journeys as the thing held about as much as the carry on bag. Obviously pre 9/11 security measures though as I don't think I'd get through security like that now.
Cheers for letting us see your latest work.
