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.
