Sewing A Vest A Quick And Easy Method
Sewing a vest is a really quick and fun project. I believe even a beginner will learn a great deal by viewing the vest making video below. All you need is a simple vest sewing pattern, in your size. And you will be on your way to sew a vest in no time flat.
The Vest Sewing Tutorial video below will give you a few tips on eliminating gapping armholes, as well as complete how to steps to sew the vest and line the vest. The method to lining the vest is not your conventional way mentioned in pattern instruction sheets. But a method I have learned over 20 years ago, and it’s still my favorite method of sewing a vest.

Patricia,
What a unique way to add a lining to a vest; also a great tip for clipping rounded edges of a vest, or other garment by alternating clips of the lining with clips of the fashion fabric!
Thanks!

These are wonderful videos, Patricia, thank you so much. I see how we use fitting for our blouses.
I have lots of vest fabrics and linings but the armhole darts I used look awful, so I’ve never worn a vest I’ve made.
Can’t wait, thanks again, Patricia.
Comment made on January 29th, 2011 at 10:52 pmFinally I found a way to line a vest. I could not find usefull information here in Denmark, so lucky me I found your video with your unique way to add a lining to a vest on the internet. Thank you also for the tips to finish the vest so it does not look “home made” in the bad way.
I just used your method to finish a vest for my grandchild – and it looks fantastic.

Hi Inge
Comment made on August 15th, 2011 at 11:12 pmGlad to hear the method worked for you. And you are pleased with the outcome.
I made a vest recently and ended up throwing it away because I really made a mess of it. Your tutorial is absolutely great and I’m using your instructions. So thorough I must say. I’ve already cut out my pieces to try another one. I have so much more confidence this go around after listening to you and taking notes. Thank you so much!
