Waistcoat - complete

Well it's done. Overall I think it looks good  so am happy  ...

... But  ...

... It doesn't fit my niece. :-( She has very politely said she's not bothered about it doing up, and it will look fine worn open  ... But it  should have fitted. So I'm wondering if the pattern didn't have seam allowances. I'm sure I measured her right and she hasn't grown.

Anyway, construction was mixed. Some bits really simple but in othe places the instructions were completely confusing. In the end I gave up following the instructions and did final construction based on the Victoria Blazer pattern, which worked fine.
