This is a sewing pattern for a classic retro vest with a timeless design.
Unlike a standard vest, this design has a wider shoulder width and a higher neckline with less opening.
It is recommended as a base pattern when you want to create a slightly vintage-style vest.
This vest can also be used as a stylish fashion item to enhance your outfit.
It is especially suitable as an inner vest for winter, and the multiple buttons add both function and design appeal.
For the best result, we recommend adding topstitching around the edges to create clean lines and improve the overall appearance.
The men's size pattern has a gentler chest curve and less waist shaping compared to the women's size pattern.
After printing, align the pages along the guide lines, tape them together, and cut out the pattern pieces before use.
The seam allowance is already included in the pattern, so you can use it as it is.
(1) Sew the "Front body" and "Front side body" together, then press the seam allowances open with an iron. Attach the pockets.
* Press the seam allowances open and add topstitching to create clean lines for a better finish.
(2) Sew the "Back body center" → "Back side body" → sides → shoulders in this order, then press the seam allowances open to shape the garment.
* Press the seam allowances open and add topstitching to create clean lines for a better finish.
(3) Make the lining in the same way, and press the seam allowances open with an iron.
(4) Fold 1 cm of the armhole edges on both the outer fabric and lining in advance.
(5) Place the outer fabric and lining right sides together, and sew around the edges.
* Leave an opening of about 15 cm for turning when sewing around.
* Pre-fold 1 cm at the opening with an iron to prepare the shape.
* It is recommended to place the opening along the straight button area.
(6) Trim bulky or tight seam areas to reduce tension, then turn the garment right side out and press with an iron.
(7) Apply topstitching around the entire edge, including the opening area.
(8) Close the armhole edges with topstitching.
(9) Attach buttonholes and buttons at the marked positions.
