Curtains with Eyelet Rings (Step 4) ...

My curtains are now finished & pressed - the final stage was hanging them. Here's the longer pair although a better pic full-length will follow soon when I next can get into the room! (currently an overflow from another room being decorated).

Patchwork & Embroidered Waistcoat: Step 10 (contd) - Finishing ...



My customer confirmed her use of the waistcoat so I was able to complete the buttons - being a reversible garment, they needed to blend in with both sides. In my stock I came across some wonderful multi-coloured ones & although not quite as large as I would have liked, they were actually perfect. I made them like cuff-links so that they could be used on either side (see image left).









After topstitching around all edges, I made buttonholes for both sides ...






& here's the waistcoat now complete.
