Notes	I am making a series of ensembles (skirts and waistcoats). As a waistcoat is the most versatile apparel ever. It can be classic, modern, boho, hippie, formal… Name your style and there is a waitcoat for the occasion. This one is made in a heavy Punta di roma (jersey). I kept the model as the pattern is, but added a zipper to both the piped pockets. To make the pockets stand out I did use purple satin for the piping. The piping for the upper pocket was too ‘whoops insight’ to my liking, so I made the piping half the size (0,5 cm instead of 1 cm each piping), did not add a zipper to this piped pocket as in that case the fabric would fall ‘too stiff’ for this small space between the collar and the outer edge. I did line the waistcoat with purple satin.
