Pattern for DIY Prince Charles
Since I'm a professional seamstress I like to make things, and since I'm also a theatical costumer my scope of making things is pretty wide. (From 6 foot sock puppet killer mutant leaches to historically accurate Elizabethian court gowns w/ under pinnings)
Last week I made my rogue his first X kilt. He already had a McDonald Knife pleated kilt he got in 2007, but he can wear his X-kilt out and about a little more than his expensive wool one. He is loving it.
As a tradition he wears his full kilt kit to my opening nights. At the momment he has to wear a store bought tux vest which sits too low, and doesn't have a proper jacket or sporan. I'm trying to get him a nice sporan for a surprise, but I would also like to make him a nice Prince charles coat to go with his formal kilt. The problem is that I don't have a proper pattern. I know folkwear makes one but the reviews on it were terrible.
Unless any of you know of another pattern I have two options.
1) Using my nice men's suit pattern alter it to turn it into a prince charles jacket. (Cost $4)
2) Buy the Folkwear pattern and try to fix it's issues (IE not enough room in the shoulders , and other tweaks) (Cost $25-30)
Anyone have any better ideas? I just want to make a nice jacket to go with the rogue's formal kilt.
