New garment

I am currently working on a new design. It is a red polyester panelled top with a black satin panel at the front. Two red panels, also on the front, have black lace overlay. The combination of red and black colours and the inclusion of satin and lace make for quite an intricate and sophisticated design. There will be a zip in the back as the fabrics are non-stretch, therefore a zip will be required in order for the wearer to be able to put the top on. The top has a halter neck and I have top stitched the edges to create a neat finish.

Waistcoat

I have designed and made this waistcoat. I'm really pleased with how it has turned out, considering it is the first waistcoat I've made.

 

Satin fabric under the collar and notched lapels.
