How to Sew a Vest with Lining 

Thank you! Glad it helped!

Aww thank you so much! 😆

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😄 you could use a regular foot it’s just more difficult because the width of the regular foot will now allow you to get close to the zipper. Good luck!

Aww thank you 😄

Thanks for watching!

Ni' Acea hey! Don’t think I will be able to make another video of it anytime soon unfortunately. It is a tricky step because you are adding clips from the inside. Which part of it are you getting stuck on?

Painted Layers Hi again & Thanks a bunch for responding. I understand. I kept having trouble with the pinning inside part. I think it was because I kept flipping it inside out and pinning it then sewing. After several tries I just flipped it right side out & then folded the arm hole pieces inward until the right sides were touching flush together then I ironed them down & pinned then sewed them together. That worked that time but I really wanted the no outside stitch look but I had to do something to make it work. Question: when you clip or pin from the inside which way or side of the fabric do you stitch it closed on? Thanks for your time again Have a great night

Hey! I would use clips instead of pins for this if you can. So with the vest right side out you want to reach inside from the bottom of the vest and add the clips around the arm hole so that right sides are together. Once you have them clipped all the way around pull the arm hole out through the opening in the bottom to sew along the arm hole so that you are sewing on the wrong side of the fabric then your stitches won’t show on the outside which is yes definitely the look you want. Hope that helps, I know it’s tricky!

@@paintedlayers2154 Hi, again & Thanks so much for taking the time to explain this technique to me. I really appreciate it. I'm going to practice this on some scrap fabric to get this done correctly. 😊 Thanks again & have a wonderful evening.

Hi! Yes I would sew the collar first. I would add the pockets to the 2 front outer pieces after you cut those out!

Hi yes sorry for the confusion. It works both ways but I found it was easier to attach it to the outer fabric first after the fact :/ so for this one do as I say not as I do lol

eric bostic Hi! There technically should not be overhang of fabric if there is try to sew 1/4th inch from the edge of the shorter piece or cut/trim your fabric so that both pieces of fabric are the same length. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching:)

@@paintedlayers2154 thank you (: and I'm technologically not advanced lol, when sewing the sleeve holes is your fabrics right side out and are you splitting the two fabrics and maneuvering around the hole as you sew? seems hard >.

I know!!! I thought i had it figured out. No. But i think she is turning the seam in from the outside then topstitching the armholes closed. I know theres a better way i just cant recall!!!

Yes. But i just fingered it out my way. I had to turn the armhole twice to do stitch from under rather than a topstitch only seam. It is very frustrating. Cant afford to rip any more seams. Best way is to do it with side seams open and arms sewn w right sides together.

Can be done from inside arms. Shes not clear i know. how much patience or whiskey do u got?? Lol

Yes, I'm confused to!

@@loiskubota9111 me too -but if you read all the comments and her replies she said do as I say not as I do because she found ultimately it was easier to sew to the outer fabric first. I can’t wait to try this myself:-)

It was wool from a thrifted shirt!
