Fit And Sew Clothes That Fit You Perfectly

Completed Vest Butterick 5359

I love this new addition to my wardrobe. The only thing left to do is to shop for buttons. I Have no idea what kind of button I want for this vest. Maybe a plain black, or maybe something with a little bit of silver.

Sewing this vest was a great experience. I used a shiny black embroidery thread for my topstitching. I also like the way the armholes look. There is no draglines under the armhole at the back of the shoulder. No matter how hard I’ve tried in the past I always had those excess wrinkles under the shoulder blade, showing that I have sloping shoulders.

But not any more…I used the easy to use shoulder template to re-draw the slope of my shoulder, this is defnitely a “fool proof tool” each sewer should have on their cutting table. This video is available to all Perfect Sew And Fit Elite Members here: to view the shoulder template video and have greater success with your sewing projects.

The vest I used had a armhole princess, I used the princess video for the step by step bust adjustement instructions. To view the video click here
