Ben's Tux

Ben has decided he would like a tux with tails and a top hat.  He wants to go to Grandma's as a gentleman.  Wow!  Wouldn't that be nice if ALL men and boys want to act as gentlemen!

So, I started this project yesterday and decided I would post pictures for him to see the progress.

First the sewing table was all cleaned off.  Patterns were pulled out.  These patterns are from Reconstructing History.


These are the fabrics I will be using.  Casa dull satin poly, poly lining, and a new patterned fabric with a Japanese touch for a vest, all from Joann's fabric.


 All ready to trace and cut out the pattern pieces.  And look!  Another use for the weights!!!  They work perfectly!


Next I found an old sheet for a mock-up.

Ben knows pretty much what he wants.  The tails need to be in this shape, but without all the buttons and cuffs.
 
We have no idea where Ben came up with idea.  Maybe from Beauty and the Beast.
