|
| About Vests - |
Sewing
and Making vest are quite easy. They can be long or short and can be
made as an accessory to compliment one's outfit, or made to be useful,
like a men's outdoor work vest made of flannel with the inside being lined
of lambs wool for warmth. |
| Best Fabric to use -
|
Just about any
fabric can be used to make vests. Some suggestions are: light weight
cotton, denim, corduroy, light weight wool, wool blends, silk, rayon, and
velvet. Wool blends, rayon, and velvet work best if the vest pattern
requires a lining. |
| Easy type Pattern - |
An easy
vest pattern would be like the one shown above. It only has 2
pattern pieces, a back which is placed on the fold, and a front pattern
piece that you cut two of. |
| Difficult type Pattern -
|
A more
difficult vest pattern might be one that requires pockets and lining. |
| Pattern Pieces -
|
Vests can have any
where from 2 to about 8 pattern pieces. Two pattern pieces being the
easiest vest to make. |
| Cost & Fabric Usage -
|
Short vests to the
waistline require little fabric (probably about 1 yard) but usually
require lining too which will be yet another yard of the same fabric or
contrasting fabric depending on the "look" you are trying to get. |
| Comments - |
A vest makes a nice
accessory to dresses or tops and is fashionable at times. It is a great
garment piece to begin sewing for success. |
|
It is often
fashionable to wear a vest whether a long sweater vest down to the knees
or a short leather vest to the waistline. Vests can be hung open or closed
with some type of closure like buttons, or a zipper. Vests are easy
to make and you can find simple sewing patterns with easy vests to make. |
