Sew La Di Da Vintage Mr London Waistcoat

Buy the Men's Mr London Waistcoat sewing pattern from Sew La Di Da Vintage. Mr London is a stylish 1930s inspired waistcoat cut to give a slimming silhouette, with faux pockets, button fastenings, tabs and contrasting trim at the back. The faux pockets streamline the front and are easy for novice sewists, but if you are up for the challenge and confident they won’t get stuffed full of used handkerchiefs, why not make them into real pockets? Mr London is a perfect day-to-day waistcoat that’ll smarten up any outfit.

Suggested fabrics: Mr London enjoys riverside strolls in cottons, tweeds, and woollen fabrics, but is also partial to a brandy or two at the club in velvet or silk. The fabric used for the front of the waistcoat extends slightly round the shoulders to act as a contrasting trim, and looks particularly effective when teamed with vintage style or Liberty print fabrics.
