Sewing difficulty level: professional - the pattern is not suitable for beginner couturier, as sewing this vest will require skills in sewing outerwear. In particular, you need to perform the WTO, stick dubbing, process the shawl collar, pockets and connect the vest with the lining.

The tailoring of this vest will seem difficult for graduates of cutting and sewing courses, as well as for tailors of a light dress.

The set of vest patterns with a shawl collar imitating an English type collar includes (picture 1):

1. Back patterns.
2. Shelves
3. Vest selection.

Armhole and lining facing patterns are not included in the set of patterns, as they are trimmed according to the product or according to the same patterns of the back and front.

The chest gain (Pg) is 12 cm - this is a large volume vest (can be worn over a thick sweater or as a double-breasted).

What fabric to sew women's vests of this style

Thick woolen fabrics that are used for sewing coats are suitable: drape, cloth, boucle, ratin. As well as dense costume fabrics such as lightweight drape or velor.

It is also possible to sew this model of a vest from velvet, jaccade and heavy suiting silk fabrics, but in this case, you should choose the size in such a way that the increase in the chest does not exceed 6 cm.

The consumption of the "top" fabric for a vest is from 170 to 190 cm - depending on the size of the product.

Dublerin consumption from 110 to 180 cm - depending on the width of the dublerin and on the size of the product.

Lining consumption from 130 to 160 cm - depending on the size of the product.

For a more accurate calculation of consumption, you should perform a preliminary layout of the patterns before buying fabric.

In addition to the fabric and butt, you will need a mannequin.

How to cut a women's vest with a collar with your own hands

(detailed description of cutting at home)

Attention! Warning: all shawl collars are quite difficult to cut and sew, so this model is strongly not recommended for beginner home fashion designers.

When cutting this vest, it is very important not only to follow the direction of the grain thread, but also to add seam allowances very accurately. This is especially true for the collar and sides - it is the exact allowances that provide the right fit for the collar and make it much easier to process.

Notches and construction lines when cutting a vest

An equally important point is the application of notches and constructive lines at the cutting stage. Notches are needed at the waist and at the lower point of the inflection of the lapel. These notches are used as a guide when assembling the product.

An extremely important notch is made in the corner formed by the tuck and the cut of the pocket entrance - without a clearly made notch in this place, the assembly of the shelf is impossible. Notches in the lapel corner and others in the collar area are added during processing.

All professional tailors are well aware of the need to apply the lapel fold line with a slip stitch on both shelves and keep the thread markings until the end of the product.

Pay attention to the length of the line indicating the inflection of the lapel - you need to iron the lapel only at the bottom, at the beginning of the inflection line, or not iron at all. The second option, the so-called "rocking" lapel, is less preferred due to the small width of the lapel. At the same time, the ironing should fade smoothly at the top and its end should not be higher than the indicated line.

To save fabric, the selection can be cut out with an additional stitch (picture 2), that is, from 2 or more parts. There are nuances in this matter: the stitching seam should not be located above the beginning of the lapel kink, and in thick fabrics, it is imperative to make stitching on the left and right collars in different places.

In addition, the stitching seam can be used to open the stitching loops.

Seam allowances on a vest

Seam allowances are common for jackets and coats (drawings 2 и 3):

1. shoulder and side seams, middle seam, tuck and pocket entrance, as well as seams of additional stitches and armhole facings - 1 - 1,2 cm each;
2. on the bottom - 3,5 - 4 cm;
3. on the departure of the side and collar - 0,7 - 1 cm;
4. according to the departure of the selection - 1 - 1,2 cm.
5. Allowances for the sprout, armholes, collar sewing line, inner edge of the pick are not added.

Pay attention also to the difference in the allowances for the departure of the side and the selection: it should be 0,3 - 0,5 cm. The thicker the fabric, the greater the difference in allowances. It is especially important to observe such a difference in the collar area. The size of the landing and the quality of the edging depends on the difference.

Separately, you should dwell on the allowance for the middle seam of the back (drawings 2 и 3). If a classic slot is provided, then the allowance for it will be 5 - 6 cm.

Figure 2 shows the layout for small sizes, Figure 3 for medium sizes.

As for dubbing, it is performed in the same way as when sewing a coat (drawings 2 и 3). That is, the back is duplicated below the level of the shoulder blades and the lower cut is cut out with large teeth. The shelf, pick and piping are duplicated completely, of course, with the exception of seam allowances.

In addition, you should duplicate the bottom. Do not forget that the indentation from the edge of the dubbing of the shelf should be 0,3 - 0,5 cm.

It is not recommended to duplicate the vest according to the type of dress.

The undercut of the facing can be done both according to the product and according to the same patterns of the back and shelves (picture 5).

Undercut according to the product for individual tailoring, of course, is preferable, since it takes into account the possibility of armhole correction.

The same can be said about the cutting of the lining - tailoring professionals usually cut the lining according to the product after processing the sides.

For those who prefer to cut according to ready-made patterns, the lining is literally minus the facing and selection (picture 5). For economy and convenience of cutting, it is desirable to perform the simplest modeling operation - to close the tuck and the entrance to the pocket.

The seam allowances for the lining are as follows (picture 6):

1. shoulder and side - 1 - 1,2 cm each;
2. along the middle seam, an allowance for opening the slots should be taken into account - 5 - 6 cm, a “pocket” slot in the area of ​​​​the shoulder blades is desirable if the vest will be worn on thick clothes, but a couple of centimeters is enough for it;
3. we do not add allowances on the sprout,
4. along the cuts to the armholes and to the selection, a double allowance is added - 2 - 2,5 cm.

The layout is a jack, the fabric is folded along the width of the layout, that is, along the width of the shelf and back with allowances.
