I got a rough measurement of the height of the guy I was making this for, just so happened to be the same height as me so that helped with estimating how long it would drape. I pretty much free styled this as I didn’t have a pattern. I pined it all together including seams and hem and spent around 6hours hand sewing it all together.

Happy with the pattern, I cut pined and cut in the reddish brown corduroy This was then pined and modelled on my lovely boyfriend I used an existing waistcoat to draw my pattern and then cut I started with what I thought would be the easiest part, the waistcoat.
