Waistcoat towards final garment.
My waistcoat I had taken from my mad hatter image on my moodboard, the mad hatter wears a patchwork waistcoat which I have used this as my inspiration.
I have created a block of a waistcoat, then I have cut out the waistcoat on Tartan fabric. I have left my edges rough and fraid as it links well with my theme. I hemmed the bottom as I didnt want it completley rough looking I wanted to show some sort of technique and also I wanted to show that it has been worn alot. I had a problem with my darts near the sleeves which I solved by making a new dart which would make my waistcoat more fitted. I also found that when I placed my waistcoat on a manakin the print was a little off, I resolved this by unpicking the sewn shoulder and bringing it up more and re-sewing it, then I re-hemmed the bottom of the waistcoat again, so it was even.

 the patchwork on this artists piece of work I have used in my own work, I also like the way they have frayed the edges of their material which I have done on my own work.
