ベストは型紙がなかったので、私用の基本の型紙から立ち上げました。ムムム、力作（笑）
布はコーデュロイを使ったんだけど、後ろ見ごろ、逆さまで布を切ってしまったために布のてかり加減が違うけど、それも愛嬌。
I made a Frodo Baggins costume (from The Lord of the Rings).
Let's start from the waistcoat.
Since I did not have a pattern for a waistcoat, I drafted it from my bodice sloper. By the way, my costume-making is not aimed to be as close as the original, but rather something that looks similar that I can sew.
It has a princess seam to the shoulder and pretty similar to my Zoe vest. The black marks on my muslin below is my pocket placement mark.
To wear over a shirt, I let out the side seams.
Then angled the front hem.
This (below) is where I should have noticed the mistake. I placed my center back bodice upside down...
The upside down center back wouldn't have been too much of an issue if it hadn't been a corduroy. Oh well, at least it was a back bodice. The fabric is Robert Kaufman 14 wale 100% cotton corduroy. I have enough fabric left to make an A-line skirt or something for the fall/winter season.
This is my very first welt pocket. I was a bit lazy so the pockets are actually fake.
But other than the pocket bag, it has all the component of a welt pocket.
I think I did rather well for my first time.
I recently bought this Simplex expanding button gauge and I love it. No calculation necessary and so easy to use.
And here is my "design" and my notes to make the waistcoat and the welt pocket. I basically watched a few YouTube videos of waistcoat making and welt pocket making and made notes of the order of construction.
The waistcoat is lined with rayon lining.
The welt at the chest is a bit tilted but otherwise I am very happy.
And the upside-down center back. It almost looks like part of a design, doesn't it?
I made the shirt as well (Butterick 5526) but forgot to take a single picture.
