finished it

Tom’s waistcoat. Looking at it now I don’t think it is too big bearing in mind he wanted it loose fitting and informal. He didn’t want it neat, crisp, and tailored. It was hard to photograph the velvet keeping the black background for some reason, I think probably the pile on the velvet. He chose this gorgeous material himself, it’s quite boho. I hope he’s going to like it. It’s his birthday next week and he’s asked for money so it’ll be nice to give him an actual present on the day.
