Miller Waistcoat Pattern
A softly structured waistcoat with a boxy fit, two welt pockets and a simple stitched belt at the back. Layer up in the winter or wear on its own in the summer in a tumbled linen.
Skill level: Intermediate (Leaving the welt pockets off would make it an advanced beginner make)
Recommended Fabric:
Self: 5-8oz linen, 5-10oz denim, light – medium weight corduroy, wool, wool blends, cotton canvas or twill.
Lining: lightweight wovens such as calico, cotton lawn, cotton, cotton blends, tencel/linen (when choosing your cloth consider that the lining fabric may be visible).
Materials Needed:- 1 x Matching thread
- 3/4 yds interfacing
- 6 x 3/4" Buttons
- 1" Miller Buckle or 1" buckle slider or two extra buttons (optional)
