Tech. Description

Quilted Vest with Pockets

When To Wear

Over shirts, blouses and fine knits in cool spring and autumn weather.
As an extra warm layer under an open coat.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Semi-fitted, shaped with bust darts on the fronts.

Length: Hip length.

Collar: Wide collar joined at the centre back seam and set into the back neckline; it opens into a deep V at the front.

Front: Edges meet at the centre front; no buttons or zipper.

Pockets: Two rounded patch pockets, each of two layers stitched, turned and topstitched onto the front.

Back: Centre back seam on the outer layer.

Finishing: Outer and inner vests stitched together along the front edges, collar and hem; armholes joined in two steps, front then back; the turning opening in the left side seam closed by hand.

Lining: The inner vest is cut from a second main fabric, in a contrasting or matching colour, so both sides are finished.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Bagging two layers through a side seam, joining armholes in two stages and handling bulky quilted fabric.

Fabric Recommendations

Quilted jacket fabric in natural or blended fibres, two fabrics in contrasting or related colours for the outer and inner vest.

Additional Supplies

None besides fabric and thread.

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical details).

From main fabric:
- Back – 2 pieces
- Front – 2 pieces
- Pocket – 4 pieces
From main fabric 1:
- Back – 2 pieces
- Front – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Stitch the center back seam on the outer back, press seam allowances open.
Stitch the darts on the front pieces, press the dart folds upwards.
Stitch the shoulder and side seams, press seam allowances open. Stitch the collar seam, press seam allowances open. Clip the seam allowance at the shoulder seam and set the collar into the neckline.
Similarly, finish the inner side of the vest, leaving an opening in the left side seam.
Place pocket pieces right sides together and stitch along the contour, leaving an opening. Clip seam allowances, trim corners. Turn right side out through the opening. Hand-stitch the opening closed. Topstitch the pocket onto the right side according to the mark.
Place the outer and inner vests right sides together and stitch along the front edge, collar, and bottom. Turn right side out through the opening in the side seam. Finish the armhole in two steps: first the front armhole, then the back armhole. Hand-stitch the technical opening in the side seam closed.
