Waistcoat and skirt

BWOF waistcoat 115 from issue 04/2007. This pattern has a sewing course, I did follow the instruction for the notched collar. but I made my own welt pockets. It was an easy pattern to sew, of course it does help to have some line drawings . I would make this one again I do love vests. Put a blouse under it and you can wear it with trousers or a skirt and it always looks dressy and pulled together.
This photo is a little washed out. I shot it in my basement which is my sewing room, and it doesn't do justice to the colours of the fabric.

Another view.


Back view think I could have made the belt a little longer however I will probably make this again.



The skirt is Butterick 4924. I made this last summer view f which is a bubble skirt, so it was pretty easy to make the second time.




Fabric for waistcoat is a wool and rayon mix, skirt is 100% cotton both from fabricmart.
