Listed here are two sewing techniques and several good sewing tips about how to sew a reversible vest or perhaps a lined vest. The first is sewn and switched another is sewn and bound.
Try both that will help you determine your preferred sewing technique.
For techniques, follow these cutting and sewing instructions:
Choose similar weight materials for any reversible vest.
Preshrink all materials and interfacing.
Interface the vest having a fusible knit interfacing.
Test the interfacing on the scrap of material first to make certain it will likely be OK.
With respect to the fabric, you might interface each of the fronts and back from the vest.
Note: You might want to interface the material after which cut the vest pieces from the interfaced fabric.
Carefully cut two fronts and something back from each fabric.
Make certain the back and front vest pieces are identical size both in materials once you cut them out. Lay one within the other to check on it.
Apply any pockets or designs to every back and front layer.
For every layer:
Place right sides from the fabric together and stitch the back and front shoulder seams together. Don't backstitch.
Rather begin and finish each seam with short stitches (18-20 per inch) for around 1-to-1-1/2 ".
Sandwich press the seams.
Press the seams open.
In the shoulder and neck reason for the shoulder seam, trim the shoulder seam allowance back in an position for around 1-1/2 inch to get rid of bulk once the neck and armhole seams are created.
Also trim the shoulder seams of among the layers to become just slightly under another layer to stagger or grade the seams once they lay on the top of one another.
Continue either Method I or Method II to complete the vest.
Method I - How You Can Sew To Accomplish A Sewn And Switched Reversible Vest
Put the two vests right sides together.
Note: Generally, when sewing a lined vest, it may be beneficial to trim off about 1/8 inch in the lining before affixing it towards the surface. This prevents the liner from showing around the outdoors once the vest is worn.
For any reversible vest, you might do.
If a little of among the layers shows on among the sides, it might seem like narrow piping. You're the designer. Produce the look you would like.
Stitch the vests armhole edges together using short stitches (18-20 stitches per inch) completely.
Sandwich press these seams.
Press the seams open.
Trim the armhole seams to at least oneOr8 inch seam allowance. Rapid stitches holds this seam.
If this sounds like a lined vest, understitch the armhole seams and the many other seams too. If it's reversible, you might not want the understitching to exhibit around the edge.
Sewing Tip: Always employ short stitches and trim to at least oneOr8 inch seam allowance to stitch a curve. Then understitch if at all possible. It creates a significantly cleaner, sharper curve rather than trimming to at least oneOr4 inch and clipping. Check it out!
Following the armholes are finished, put the two right sides from the vest together again again arranging all of the edges. Pin to carry the layers.
Stitch the leading and neck-line together.
Begin stitching a couple of inches in the side seam at the base from the front and stitch across the foot of the leading, in the center front and round the neck and lower on the other hand from the front preventing a couple of inches from sleep issues seam.
Make use of a regular stitch length to stitch across the foot of the leading or more the leading. Switch to a brief stitch length to stitch the bend round the neck.
Sandwich press the seam.
Press the seam open.
Trim the curved area surrounding the neck to at least oneOr8 inch.
Trim the relaxation from the seam to at least oneOr4 inch.
Contain the scissors in an position whenever you trim to assist layer or grade the seam considerations or use "duckbill" scissors to assist do that.
Sewing Tip: Always stagger the perimeters of seam considerations once they finish up lounging on the top of one another inside a finished outfit.
Turn the vest right side out by tugging the fronts with the shoulders one for reds at any given time.
Press well setting the seam lines exactly around the edge.
With right sides together, match the armhole seams and pin exactly with the stitching line to carry one on the top from the other.
Stitch along side it seams of both layers in a single continuous step carefully walking the needle within the underarm pin.
Sandwich press the seam.
Press the seam open.
You might want to leave the entire seam allowance here just in case you need to allow the vest out sometime.
Now, you will find the bottom from the back open contributing to 2 " on each side from the side seam toward the leading.
Turn right sides together matching in the side seams. Place a pin exactly within the type of stitching within the side seams to carry one on the top from the other.
Beginning at one front side in which you stopped stitching formerly, stitch over the bottom before you arrived at a couple of inches in the next side seam pin and prevent departing in regards to a 4 inch opening with that side.
Sandwich press the seam.
Press the seam open.
Press underneath the unstitched seam considerations as if these were sewn.
Trim and grade the seam considerations to around 1/4 inch.
Turn the vest right side out with the 4 inch opening in the side lower edge. This opening is preferable to getting the outlet in the center of the middle back. It is not as noticeable.
Press well again.
In the opening, submit and fall into line the perimeters.
To complete this opening, slip stitch it closed manually or convey a narrow strip of fusible web and fuse it closed.
If preferred, topstitch the vest 1/4 inch in the edges.
Make buttonholes on sides from the vest.
Sew 2 buttons together creating a thread shank among them. Begin using these double buttons through both buttonholes like cufflinks for men. You may also use 2 different buttons as
lengthy because they are exactly the same size to suit with the holes.

Another way to complete your reversible vest would be to sew each vest with shoulder seams and side seams.
Put the vests with wrong sides together.
Stitch 3/4 inch all over the armholes and also the outer edges from the vest holding the two layers together.
Trim off 5/8 inch throughout.
Bind all of the outdoors edges either with self fabric, contrasting fabric, or perhaps a fold over trim or braid to complete.You may also make use of a decorative serged edge to complete the vest.
