make vest from trouser cloth?
Not sure where best to post this, but here goes:
If I were to buy a vintage suit, is there enough fabric in the trousers to make a matching waistcoat?
I took out some trousers and a vest and took measurements and it seems that (in theory) there would be just enough fabric in the two rear panels of the trousers to make the two front panels of the waistcoat.
Has anyone done this?
Is there anyone out there willing to undertake a project like this? Thanks! Richard
(I've been looking and looking, it's pretty much impossible to find a vintage three-piece tweed suit in my size, but two-piece suits are more common.)
