Has anyone ever made a waistcoat (sewn)? It’s our 25th wedding anniversary in a few months and I’d really like to make one for my other half as a present… |

I made one years ago when I was in sixth form or uni. They’re not too bad as long as you follow the instructions carefully as you need to sew the lining to the outside then turn it inside out

I've made a waistcoat too. Years ago it was one of the first projects on my dressmaking C&G. As Meglet says, relatively simple just follow the "bagging out" instructions carefully

I made my ex brother in law a waistcoat when my sister and him got married! It was easy enough!

Definitely easier than something you have to set sleeves in!

I usually favour Vogue patterns for anything which has a bit of tailoring or detail. I bet it'll turn out really well - scope for an interesting lining for sure, a shot fabric or something with a bit of a pattern.

I made one in secondary school! I remember choosing the fabric and making it and being really pleased with myself.
