McCall's 2260 Vest (aka Waistcoat)
2023-Jan-25, Wednesday 05:10 pmMcCall's 2260 (which has been rereleased as 8050) is an unlined waistcoat (known as a vest in some places). I made View C; mid-length, straight hem, side-splits, no ties, single button. Although I didn't actually add the button.
Claims to be a 1 hour vest*
*Sewing machine time only
Hah. Cue bitter laughing in facings. Glad to see the new version of the pattern has dropped this claim.
I made a Size Large (16-18). This is not a multi-size pattern. I'd forgotten that these exist. Indie companies have me spoilt. It's a bit snug, so I used a waistband hook-and-bar closure instead of a button.
This is made in a medium-heavy weight black (with grey and white) slub woven fabric. I'm never quite sure if I like this fabric. But it reminds me of tv channel static, which I do like. The back has no shaping, so it bunches, but that's to be expected in an unisex pattern. Other than being a little snug there isn't much I'd change about this pattern, except perhaps lengthening the side splits.
