Lying on the mezzanine of my mother were two old scarves from Soviet times. As a thing, they have long lost their relevance, where it is not clear where to use them, and lying in the closet until the moth eats is better then immediately thrown out. Well, friends, today I will again regale you with a master class on how to sew a vest with your own hands from scarves lying around in the closet.
Since mom often spends her days in her garden, a warm vest will come in handy for a cool summer evening. Before I sew any thing, I usually imagine in my head how it will look. So this time I painted a picture of my mother sitting in a gazebo, on a swing, reading a book wrapped in a woolen vest. If you want to learn how to sew a vest with your own hands from an old scarf and why you can wrap yourself in this vest, read my today's master class!
- How to sew a drawstring
In order to sew a warm vest from an old scarf, I needed:
- two scarves measuring 0.45 x 2 m.
- 1 spool of thread in the color of the scarf, I used gray, it matches both
- sewing tools: scissors, tailor's pins, ripper, measuring tape
- drawstring cord 1.5 m.

Pattern of an elongated women's vest
1. I take two scarves measuring 0.45 x 2 m.
2. I will build myself a pattern of an elongated women's vest for any size. To do this, I find a straight-cut dress in a sewing magazine. I took as a basis a dress pattern in size 42 (Russian 48) from Burda. I need a shelf and a back, I model them as shown in the photo:
- I lay down 20 cm from the waist line on the back and cut it in a straight line
- on the shelf I close the chest tuck and transfer it to the line of the middle of the shelf, making a cut 24 cm below the neck
- I also postpone the waist on the shelf 20 cm from the waist line. On the side seam
- I build the line of the collar and bottom as shown in the picture.
As you understand, in the pattern of an elongated women's vest leading role shelf plays, it is here that you need to make the most changes.
How to sew a vest from a scarf with your own hands step by step
3. I fold scarves in half and cut out a shelf from a white scarf - 2 pcs. Slice allowances are 1 cm everywhere from the finished pattern.
4. From a green scarf I cut out two parts of the back, which I immediately connect on a typewriter along the middle seam.
5. I will have a back with decorative elements- with a fringe. Therefore, I cut off a fringe from a white scarf at a distance of 1 cm from the edge.
6. From the remains of a white scarf, I collect a yoke on the back. I pin the fringe to the yoke with pins.
7. Laying a line on a sewing machine, sewing a fringe to a yoke
8. I iron the fringe with gauze and steam, directing the seam inside the coquette. I fix the yoke to the back with pins and make a line on a sewing machine.
9. Now I'm starting to process the shelf. I decided that the front collar would be made of a green scarf, so I cut out two such elements from the inside to the shelf and sew them on top, retreating from the edge by 0.5 cm.
10. I cut out two collar stands on the back. To do this, I measure the length of the neck on the back. Rack height - 4 cm.
11. I sew on the typewriter the collars of the stand to the back one by one. I iron the seams.
12. I connect the pattern of an elongated women's vest along the shoulder and side seams.
How to sew a drawstring
13. To make the vest fit, I thread a cord through the waist line. To do this, I put on a vest, tie an elastic band around my waist, make control marks with a piece of chalk where the elastic band lay. I lay out the vest on the floor and on the wrong side I outline the line of the drawstring.
14. I glue the place for the cord exit with a piece of adhesive fabric. And on a sewing machine I make a loop, like for a button. I make a hole in the loop with a ripper.
15. I cut out a piece of fabric equal to the length of the drawstring, 3 cm wide. I overcast it on all sides with an overlock or zigzag stitch. I fix it with pins on the drawstring line, closing the loop for the cord to exit.
16. On the sewing machine from the wrong side, I lay a line along the drawstring, retreating from the edge by 2 mm.
17. I pass a cord through the drawstring equal in length to the waist girth + 50 cm.
How to sew a bias tape around the edges
18. Open sections of the neck and armholes will be processed with the help of an oblique inlay. I take a 5 meter long bias tape, it is sold in any fabric and sewing accessories store. In contrast to the white color of the vest, I took a black one. We iron it from one end.
19. I sew on a typewriter first from the wrong side. Then I turn the folded edge right side out.
20. I cut corners
Vests are always relevant. This is the most versatile type of clothing. They can be used in conjunction with, and separately by themselves.
Vests are acceptable for all ages and builds. They can have a wide variety of styles and silhouette shapes, they can be straight and fitted, long, short and asymmetrical.
A wide variety of fabrics are used for vests, which makes it easy to combine them with things already in the wardrobe as a decorative addition to modern women's clothing.
The shape, lines and proportions of the vest are inextricably linked with the figure of a woman. So, on a full figure, a long straight or slightly fitted vest with vertical reliefs will look more advantageous, which will make the figure visually slimmer. And a young girl with a perfect figure and a thin waist can also make a short vest, emphasizing the harmony of the figure.
Building a vest pattern
Vest pattern can be obtained using up to the hip line.
1. To determine the length of the product along the line of the middle of the back, lay down 41.6 cm from the point that determines the level of the seventh cervical vertebra.
2. Draw the relief of the back, measuring 12 cm from the armhole upwards, while measuring the opening of the tuck and converting it into a relief as shown in Fig. 1.
3. Increase the neckline along the shoulder section of both parts of the vest by 2 cm.
4. Along the line of the middle of the back, deepen the neck by 0.5 cm, draw a new neck of the back.
5. Draw a model line for the neck of the vest shelf in accordance with fig. one.
6. Deepen the armhole of the shelves and backs by 1.5 cm. The length of the shoulder cut line is 7 cm (set aside from the top of the new neck of the shelf and the back of the vest).
7. Parallel to the middle of the shelf at a distance of 2 cm from it, draw a line of the edge of the board.
8. Draw the bevel of the side and the line of the bottom of the vest shelf.
9. From the top of the new neck of the shelf, set aside 5 cm down and draw a cut line to transfer the tuck to the bulge of the chest.
10. Cut out all the details of the cut (Fig. 2).
11. To transfer the chest tuck, make a cut and connect the sides of the tuck.
12. Indicate the direction of the warp thread.
Cutting the vest and lining
Cut out the details of the vest from the main and lining fabrics with allowances for seams of the same width along all sections.
Reinforce the sides, necklines and armholes of parts from the main fabric with interlining.
If the waistcoat pattern provides for a pick-up, then cut out a shelf from the lining fabric minus the width of the pick-up. Cut out two pieces of the pick-up with allowances for seams along all sections. Reinforce the pick-up with interlining and stitch the lining to the shelves.
How to sew a lining to a vest
The vest is lined with lining on all sides. It is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. The condition for success is the exact match of the details of the vest from the main and lining fabrics.
Sew all the seams of the vest and the lining, except for the shoulder seams, leaving an inside-out section of approx. 15 cm. Iron the seam allowances.
Pin the lining to the vest right side to the right side, matching the seams and seam lines, and sew along the lower sections of the shelves and back, sections of the sides, neck and armholes, starting / finishing lines, not reaching approx. 3 cm to the lines of the shoulder seams.
Cut the seam allowances close to the seams, notch in the rounded areas, cut obliquely at the corners (Fig. 3).
Turn the vest through the open section in the seam on the lining (center back seam or side seam). Sweep and iron the edges.
Fold the front sides and the back of the vest and sew the shoulder seams without grabbing the lining (1). Reach into the open area in the seam on the lining, grab and pull one of the shoulder seams to the right side. Pin off the shoulder sections of the lining. Stitch (2). Iron the shoulder seam allowances.
Sew the remaining open cuts of the neck and armholes (3). Pull the edge of the shoulder back through the open area again.
Sew the second shoulder seam in the same way.
At the end of the open area in the middle seam of the back/side seam sew up by hand.
Vests are back in fashion!
This fact is intended to serve as a pretext for needlewomen to get down to business without a moment's delay.
For inspiration, I will add that people who have a vest in their wardrobe note its indispensability, rationality and excellent compatibility with a variety of clothes. Checked!
There is no end to the variety of vests! It is suitable for every member of the family. From a small child to our beloved grandparents. So why not seize the moment and make happy at least the people closest to us? At the same time gaining invaluable experience in mastering the sewing business.
Sewing this practical piece of clothing will not be difficult. Especially when you consider that each dressmaker can choose both the style, the fabric, and the type of processing in accordance with their level of training (we mean courage and determination).
One pattern, changing the fabric, finishes and processing methods, you can sew several different models of vests.
I propose to start with a children's vest. If you have sewn clothes for your child before and already have a basic pattern, you can model a vest based on it, I think you can handle it. There will be many questions, ask, we will show step by step instructions on the modeling of the vest. You can use patterns from fashion magazines, choosing the appropriate size.
As an example, we give another version of the pattern for a child of about 9-11 years old, chest circumference 68-72 cm.
It is very easy to draw such a pattern. We arm ourselves with a triangle, a ruler, a pencil and, of course, a sheet of paper. A little patience, diligence, a few minutes of time and the pattern is ready. You can adjust the length of the product yourself, the depth of the armhole and neckline, etc.
I give a hint, so to speak, the direction of movement.
Let's start from the back. Comparing my description and drawing, you will understand the principle of construction.
In the upper left corner of the sheet, we put a point O, from which we put 21.5 cm down, put a point D. And again down 35 cm, put a point H. Draw horizontal lines from the points obtained.
From point O to the right we set aside 8 cm, further up 2 cm, again to the right 10 cm and down 4 cm, set point P. We draw all lines at right angles.
Looking at our drawing, make out the line of the neck of the back and the line of the shoulder. We connect point O and 2 with a smooth curve, and connect the shoulder line from point 2 to point P with a straight line. That's all for now in this area.
From the point G to the right (this is the line of the chest), set aside 17 cm, put the point G1 and another 5.5 cm - this is the point G2. From the point G1 we set aside 4 cm upwards, put the point P1, and along the bisector 1.5 cm. And only now we connect point P with point P1. Look at the drawing. And we draw the line of the armhole with a smooth curve.
Next, we work independently. On the remaining sections of the pattern, I deliberately do not put letters. If you still have questions or you find an error in the drawing or in the text (this happens), write. We will help, advise, fix, etc.
According to this pattern, you can sew different vests, from different fabrics, with or without lining, with a collar or with a hood. You can change the style of the pockets or completely abandon them. You can vary the fasteners (buttons, buttons, zippers), if you sew a zipper, change the allowance in the middle of the front. On the pattern, an allowance for a fastener for buttons or buttons is given. Cuts along the neckline and armholes can be edged with an oblique trim, or overstitched with overturning or, by increasing the armholes, sew in a strip of knitwear. Can be decorated with appliqué or embroidery, etc. etc. Let your imagination run wild or listen to the wishes of your little client.
The consumption of fabric for a vest with a width of 1.40 -1.50 m is approximately 75-80 cm. Do not forget to allow for seams and hem hem.
How to sew a vest. To whom and for what?
This item of clothing has long taken pride of place on the catwalks of Europe and in the wardrobes of fashionistas. All girls who follow fashion trends and novelties have long acquired this fluffy fur miracle. The vest goes well with a variety of things: with skinny jeans, skirts, leather shorts. Of course, you can buy a little thing in any store that sells fur products, but the best solution is to sew a vest with your own hands. At first glance, this may seem difficult, but such a solution has a lot of obvious advantages: a self-sewn vest will have a unique design, exactly match your parameters. In addition, you get the opportunity to create and experiment! Just imagine how your girlfriends will pester you with questions about where did you get such an unusual little thing, and you will smile mysteriously in response! I think these arguments have awakened in you the desire to know the answer to the question of how to sew a vest yourself. This is a fairly simple process that will only take a couple of hours.
How to sew a vest: choose the material
First of all, stock up on the necessary materials. You will need 75 centimeters of any fur and 100 centimeters of fabric that will go to the lining. We advise you to opt for soft fur (a fox or a rabbit is ideal). It should also be smooth enough - this will simplify the sewing process. Pay attention to the direction of the pile - it should go down.
How to sew a vest: taking measurements
To sew the product, you will need to find out your bust circumference. In addition, you should measure the width of your hips and waist. After that, decide on the length of the future vest.
How to sew a vest: draw a pattern
In order to draw a pattern, draw a rectangle on a sheet of drawing paper. Its width should correspond to the girth of the chest, to which two more centimeters are added. The length of the rectangle, respectively, must match the length of the thing. Carefully cut out the shape, then fold it in half. In the drawing, mark the hips, chest and waist with a dotted line. We offer a fitted model, as it favorably emphasizes the figure.
Building a pattern
Measure 75 centimeters down, set aside 6.5 centimeters from the point that is at the very top (this is the future neckline). Then step back 12-14 centimeters and draw a straight line at an angle of 3 centimeters. This will be the shoulder seam. From it, draw down a vertical line 19-22 centimeters long, step back 4 centimeters to the right and draw a rounded line (armhole). From this point, set aside 17 centimeters to the future waist. Draw the bottom edge of the vest. After that, connect the shoulder seam and waist with a line (this will be the front neckline). Carefully cut out the resulting pattern and sketch it on the wrong side of the fur and lining fabric. After that, you can start cutting.
Sew the details
Sew the parts together on a sewing machine, sew the back and shoulder seams. Now you can turn the vest right side out. That's all, you can sew fasteners (buttons or buttons). Before wearing, do not forget to carefully comb the fur.
