Materials and Tools

Before starting to cut and sew a vest, we prepare working accessories:

• Sewing machine.
• Pattern.
• Fabric for warp.
• Lining fabric.
• Sewing and sewing threads.
• Buttons
• Chalk or soap.
• Needle.
• Scissors.
• Tailor pins.

The choice of fabric must be given special attention, since only dense fabric that can hold its shape is suitable for the manufacture of such a vest. From this it follows that you need to abandon flying, streaming and other light materials, since for these purposes they are completely unsuitable - just waste your money.

For sewing children's vests are well suited:

• Woolen fabric
• durable jeans;
• knitwear;
• leather or leatherette;
• raincoat fabric;
• bologna and nylon.

The choice depends primarily on the purpose of the vest for the boy - to study or walk on the street.

Important! If you want to decorate a vest with cute embroidery or other decorative elements, then do not forget to ask your child’s preferences before that. In this case, the baby will wear the clothes of his dreams!

2. Now you need to grind the tucks on the back of the future vest, taking into account the depth of the tuck, about 1 cm, and then iron it towards each other.

7. Now take the finished grinders and gently duplicate them.
8. Face to face, we impose a backing to the back of the product, pin it off with pins and grind the neckline.
9. Next - we sew the seam on the grind, grind a slanting strip of finishing material from the back from the side of our grinder.
10. After that, you need to put the grind on the strip facing each other, then grind the sides first, and sew the line of the resulting grind on the grinder.

16. Turn the strip on the front side and straighten the corners.
17. Now you need to iron and check that the grinder does not peek from the outside. If it protrudes, we cut off the excess tissue.
18. Grind and iron the resulting side seam.
19. Flashing the shelf and backrest, ironing.
20. We do the same manipulations with the shelf and back of the vest.
21. Next, you need to fold the main part of the product facing each other, connect the seam with pins to the side with the seam of the facing.
22. We are engaged in turning the armholes, we adjust the seam for turning in all available places.
23. We turn out the already processed armhole of the strip, inserting it into the armhole of the back so that the facing turns face to face, and the shelf is turned to the back.
24. We sew together the shoulder seams of the shelf, the seams of the stitches.
25. We turn out the processed strip, connect the shoulder seams of the facing with the main product, and flash the empty seats.
26. Now again, we turn the vest on the front side, sweep the strip along the armhole, align the shoulder seams in different directions, fold and carefully iron.
27. We sew all the side details of the lining, the seam in the middle and the tucks, leaving an unstitched opening, which will be needed to process the bottom of the product.
28. After this, you need to iron all the side seams, iron the tucks and the middle seam in one direction, trim the bottom of the lining material.

Important! Do not forget to start and end the seams at a distance of about 2 cm from the shoulder seam, if this is not done, the vest will be small.

Sew the lining to the vest

The process of attaching the lining to the main fabric consists of several stages:

1. Combining the centers and seams on the sides, you need to notice the lining of the back to the hem of our back. Then turn on the front part, check whether it sits well. If everything is fine, then sew the backrest lining.
2. Now we sew the lining of the shelf to the shelves of the main fabric, we turn it out, in the same way we check the correctness of the seam. If all is well, then sew the lining of the vest to the shelves.
3. We turn the bottom of the product and its lining through the side hole, combine and sew it, and then we turn the vest back to the front side.
4. In the next step, we fasten the linings to the side seams and grind it by hand from the wrong side.
5. We put together the raw side seam, fix it with pins and adjust it, leaving an allowance from the edge of 1-2 mm.

Recommendations for sewing and wearing a vest:

• A vest for a boy is a rather universal product, since it can not only warm in the winter, but also perfectly complement any look. It can be worn, for example, with a T-shirt or a classic shirt. Therefore, in order to accustom a child to good taste from childhood, then dress him only in beautiful and fashionable things. Maybe someday your son will be a famous designer, who knows!
• To combine a vest with a bottom, jeans or regular straight trousers are suitable.In other words, this type of clothing is very useful, as it goes well with almost all things in a wardrobe.
• Pay particular attention to the choice of fabric color for the vest. For example, if your child is less than 5-6 years old, then give preference to darker, dimmer shades. Children at this age often get dirty, and soiled clothes are not very suitable, but on a dark background, spots will not be especially noticeable.

Important! A dark vest goes well with a white shirt, so do not miss the chance to use this option.
