New wool blanket project.

[sausage100uk]

I enjoyed making my wool smock so much i decided on a different project this time.

i thought I'd try and copy a waistcoat i had.

newspaper patterns

w front panels and one back panel cut out.

pinned and laid out.

My sewing isnt great but its improving...

flat seams on the shoulders.

brass poppers so i dont have to sew button holes.

finished garment !!

Took me about 4 hours all told... Hoping for a cold winter now

Thought about pockets but i wanted it to be a mid layer so thought pockets might bulk it out.
