Lekala #6063 Waistcoat for Jerry ~ Zara and Connor's Wedding

 Please be so kind as to vote for me here!

Edited to say Thank you, I won first place and 5 patterns!!!!


Another beautiful baby married.... what a day!

Zara was keen for an elegant editorial wedding party in neutral, tonal colours.
Jerry had to put his fancies for a gold dragonfly brocade on hold for another day.
As always, I went with Lekala #6063

I purchased the lurex brocade from Designer Ends one of my favourite fabric stores.
The silver satin was from my beloved Elizas of Sunshine.
The buttons are thick, Mother of Pearl vintage buttons from my stash.
The pattern suggests back ties tied but I rather like a buckle, this one is a vintage Mother of Pearl, a very special piece.


A very special day.

I thought Jerry looked very handsome in his grey on grey ensemble. 


I used my tried and true Youtube tutorial  for the three welt pockets.


Thank you for reading, I can't wait to share more photos.

  1. How wonderful to see some new posts ! I’ve only recently found your blog and have read every post. So inspirational ! I have two little grand daughters and I’m planning some Oliver & S sewing inspired by your makes. Can’t wait to see the rest of these wedding photos. Love your aesthetic and the gorgeous wardrobes you have produced over the years.
