Constructing a pattern for an elongated vest

The foundation is a straight-cut dress with darts basic pattern.

The bust dart is moved into a side seam. Step down 4 cm from the armhole and mark a point on it to accomplish this. After that, we attach it to the top of the bust dart. Cut in the direction of the drawn line. Put the bust dart away. The side dart opens along the cut at the same moment.

Modeling the back

We draw a straight perpendicular to the bottom line on the waist, starting 1 centimeter from the middle of the back. Connect a waist point with a point in the middle of the section that runs from the bottom of the neckline to the armhole line by drawing an upward pattern curve.

Extend the rollout’s footprint. Expand it by 2 cm along the shoulder line and 5 mm in the middle of the back. Next, draw a new neckline following the design.

Deepen and enlarge the armhole. This can be accomplished by allocating 15 mm along the shoulder seam and 20 mm down the side line.

Modeling the front

Expand and widen the armhole in the same manner as the back.

Set aside 2 cm at waist level to the right for the fastener, then draw a down perpendicular line. Raise it up until it reaches your chest. Expand and widen the rollout on the front section, leaving 2 cm between the shoulder and center lines.

We won’t make waist darts and will instead make the side seam straight because our vests have a straight silhouette.

Pattern of an elongated sleeveless vest

Cut the main pattern of this model to the appropriate length, usually around 20 cm. You can make it shorter by a greater amount if it is too long for your height. Don’t change anything else. Mark the upper boundary point of the pockets by measuring 20–25 cm down from the side dart. Position the second one 10–15 cm below it, following the same line. Next, we create a burlap model.

Retake the patterns that are produced.

Design of an extended vest featuring a lowered shoulder

Ascertain the product’s length. Reduce the armhole on the vest’s basic pattern by shifting the extreme points by 2 centimeters to the left or right (see drawing).

Note that this distance is measured along the darts’ slope lines on the front piece.

Create a new shoulder line by lowering the extreme point by 1 cm and extending it by 5 cm. Create fresh armhole pattern lines.

Create a convex neckline profile from the rollout’s upper point, aligning it with the axial front line. Based on the vest’s basic design, we remove the fastener’s indentation.

The model has a flap-covered slit pocket.

You can opt to only use a flap and omit the entire pocket. In this instance, a false pocket will be obtained.

In order to create the flap pattern, we first build a 9 by 15 cm rectangle. The lower points are then moved 3 cm to the left. We obtain a parallelogram-shaped pattern. On the front piece, we mark where the pocket is.

We mark the location of the pocket’s frame-slot, which measures 2 by 13 cm, beneath the flap.

All we have to do is label where the buttons are. Ten centimeters will separate the first from the roll-out’slowestpoint, and fifteen centimeters will separate the second.

How to sew an elongated vest from a men"s jacket

A men’s jacket can be used as the pattern for a fashionable women’s vest that has an asymmetrical zipper and a wrap.

To sew, we’ll need:

• jacket – single or double-breasted;

• fasteners – short zippers – 2 pcs.;
• fastener – long zipper – 1 pc.;
• threads and sewing accessories.

How to sew a vest with your own hands

Release the fasteners on the coat.

Draw a mark on the armhole where the sleeves will be cut off.

Remove any extra sleeves.

Try the item on and modify the width to fit your frame size. Pin the excess fabric in the side seams after selecting it. For the front shelves to look symmetrical, pre-pin them. Trim any excess, then apply a facing to the edges.

Use a piping to process the armhole edges.

Use a basting stitch to attach the zipper to one side of the jacket or vest.

After folding the shelves so that they overlap and cover the second side’s loops, secure them with pins.

Sew the zipper’s second side in place.

Try it on and see how the zipper closes. Zipper should be sewn on if no adjustments are needed.

Two short zippers should be placed and sewn on.

How to sew a vest from a women"s jacket

Before sewing, we must get ready:

• a jacket for alteration;
• costume jewelry for decoration.

Description

We go through the first few steps again from the earlier explanation.

Decoratively as you please.

Straight-cut vest without a fastener from Burda No. 11/2025: video master class

Vest with a "shawl" collar

There are patterns for sizes 40 through 52.

The model is fairly intricate to make and calls for knowledge of sewing outerwear.

For the task at hand, you require:

• main fabric: 1.7-1.9 m (depending on the size);
• interlining: 1.1-1.8 m (depending on the width of the interlining and the size of the product);
• lining fabric — 1.3-1.6 m (depending on size).

Making a rough layout of the patterns will help you determine the fabric consumption more precisely.

Dense woolen fabrics (such as drape, woolen, or boucle) are ideal for sewing and are typically used to make coats. Suit fabrics and other lightweight versions of them are also appropriate. An extended vest crafted from velvet, heavy suit silk, jacquard, or velour will look fantastic.

Patterns

Patterns for the facings, back, and front must be created. The lining and armhole facing patterns are made in accordance with the patterns of the corresponding parts and are not displayed separately.

Because this model has a free volume, the OG is allowed 12 cm. Either wear the vest as a double-breasted one, or wear a thick sweater underneath.

Description

The direction of the grain line must be considered when inking patterns on the material. Accurately observing the sizes of allowances, particularly on the collar and sides, is also crucial. Taking such care will simplify the collar’s processing and guarantee that it fits properly.

Make sure the design lines and notches are transferred to the fabric as well. For instance, when assembling the vest, the notches at the bottom of the lapel and on the waist line serve as guides.

It is possible to cut the facing into multiple pieces to save material. The joining seam must not be higher than the lapel bend; this is crucial. Seams at the intersection of the right and left facings shouldn’t overlap if we’re sewing from thick material.

• seams on the shoulders, sides, central seam, dart, pocket entrance, seams on the piping and facings – 1.0-1.2 cm;
• lower edge – 3.5-4.0 cm;
• flare and collar offset – 0.7-1.0 cm;
• facing offset — 1.0-1.2 cm.

Allowances for the sprout, armholes, collar sewing lines, and inner facing cut are not required.

It’s crucial to keep the facing offset and facing allowances apart by 0.3 to 0.5 cm. It must be the maximum for materials that are thick.

Should a slit be positioned along the back’s central seam, allow 5–6 cm to accommodate these seams.

Pattern layout for small sizes on the material is shown below.

Large size patterns are arranged differently.

Sewing

We use interlining to replicate the back detail below the shoulder blades, making a large zigzag cut to close the incision. All of the front, facing, and piping halves are identical (apart from the allowances).

After processing the sides, we begin the lining process.

Using the same patterns as the main parts, we cut out the lining, reducing them by the size of the facings and facings.

• seams on the shoulders and sides – 1.0-1.2 cm;
• central seam of the back if there is a vent – 5-6 cm;
• we lay an allowance along the central seam of the back – a fold on top of 2 cm;
• armhole and facing cuts — 2.0-2.5 cm.

Like all of our products, the vest is sewn.
