This was once a winter sleeveless waistcoat/gilet which I’ve had for probably ten or more years. I didn’t wear it a lot as there’s a collar on it and that annoyed me after a while!! I got it out of the wardrobe to take it to the charity shop = BUT. Hang on. What shall I do with it?!?!?
There were pockets in it and a very long open ended zip. This was NOT the easiest demolition job I’ve ever done as the stitching was camouflaged into the fleece. Here’s the job partway through. I apologise for not taking a picture earlier but - I forgot!!
The idea is to use the basic part as a lining for another waistcoat. Mainly because I’m bored to death with my usual winter T-shirts so thought that if I made a waistcoat that I could wear with them I’d feel a happier old git!!! Wonder if it’ll work?!?!?
I love following the progress of your recycled garments! But won’t it be difficult to get the collar off?
ReplyDeleteProbably, Maureen but it’ll keep me out of trouble for a while!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good idea!
ReplyDeleteYour reconstruction projects always turn out well. I can hardly wait to see the completed transformation of this waistcoat.
