Finally after a couple weeks of working I have completed sewing together my waistcoat. Although I did take longer than the initial two weeks allocated to finish I am glad I did as it was time spent on my decoration. The decoration used for my waistcoat included braid with very tight loops. As each loop needed to be sewn invisibly meant that extra time and care needed to spent on this area. In industry I am aware that this time would not have been as flexible and would have needed to be completed to a specific date. However as I have been working with such delicate fabric I felt the need to be over cautious. The images below show my final shape, the next stage now is to sew on buttons and mark buttonholes ready to be sewn in place.
As shown above two rows of braid were attached down the front and extra added at the collar and pocket flaps. When sewing to the collar and pocket flaps care needed to be taken so the braid pointed in the correct direction and sat neatly at all corners.
