like mother like daughter

Hooray at last I've finished the stripy waistcoat...

... and this is all that's left!

I'm quite pleased with the result, although I seem to have done a lot of faffing around to achieve it.

The front facings made from the sleeves worked well as they gave the front a bit more substance, and I used the fabric binding to finish the edges. I bound the armholes with strips in the same way, and I folded the collar in half and slip stitched it down on the inside.

Unfortunately when Mr P took these photographs an old woman who looks uncannily like my Mum was revealed... so here is a picture of my best side!

... and so to the Lovely Cup of Tea...
