Sew a Vest Like a Pro: Beginner Step by Step 

I'm trying to learn pattern drafting at the same time as sewing, and this is exactly what I needed to know how to turn the pattern into a finished piece! Thank you ;-; Beginner friendly without feeling like a slog. Seriously, you're a lifesaver.

This is such a great video! I was scared to sew my first vest for a cosplay. Thanks to your step-by-step I managed to do a good job!!!

This is the first time a video for sewing a lining for a vest has made any kind of sense to me. I’ve seen the burrito method a half billion times and I can never figure it out. This actually makes sense. Thank you so much.

OH MY GOSH! The technique starting at 8:07 to pull the one side through the back opening to sew the one side as a complete circle. GENIUS!! Oh my gosh, that saved so much stress. I have been sewing vests for years and did not know this technique. Saved so much time and stress. Thank you!

I have been making a vest over the past two days from one of the big 4 and I was so utterly confused on how to sew the main to the lining and turn them inside out. The instructions just did not make sense and had terrible illustrations. Thank you so much for this video! It was a million times more helpful than the instructions and I'm saving it in case I need it again later!

I have new sewn clothes before and used your tutorial to sew my very own vest! It turned out pretty good for my first time. Thank you so much for making this video, it was so helpful!

LOVE how you show via fast video and get straight to the how-to. Excellent!

Thank You Sew Very Much! I'm a sixty four year old male retiree and I just got into sewing because I saw a series of videos from a channel called 'Tock Custom' and they hypnotized me to the point where I purchased a Singer 44S Heavy Duty Sewing Machine Online! (I'd like to add, "Damn Him, That Thoroughly Convincing Bastard!) I hate to admit that I've been enjoying myself. (Again, "DAMN HIM!!!) I ended up sewing my very first garment, which was something I've always wanted since I was a kid, an Inverness Cloak! I was a fan of a television Soap Opera called "Dark Shadows" and one of the characters was a Vampire by the name of Barnabas Collins and he wore a very stylish Inverness Cloak! But that particular style of garment is very expensive and not very available. The one's for sale online seem to start at $700.00!!! The cheap ones for Halloween costumes fall apart too easily. So when I got my machine, I decided that this would be my very first garment! (Yeah, No Pressure! Right!) I had some black Fleece fabric laying around from a friend's previous project and purchased a few more yards at a local fabric store and what the Hell, I DID IT!!! I actually was able to finish it before Halloween and I wore it for that occasion! Sure, there were some mistakes but I was able to fix or hide them and to my eyes, it came out wonderfully! It was a very cold night but the Fleece kept me warm and toasty and I was complemented for my costume! Yeah! It felt really good! So, your vest tutorial came out at just the right time for me because I do like vests or waistcoats as well! I'm starting to look at fabrics for this project right now! It is very satisfying getting to wear what you actually make! So, Thank You for the Tutorial and the Inspiration!

Thank you very much, your video save me to fall in despair! I am doing a vest for my brother (cosplaying Loki president) and I bought a Burda pattern, and even though the pattern is really helpful for the size accuracy, instructions for the sewing are minimal and impossible to understand. So I was lost, and without your video I would had no chance to sew it. Thanks!!!

Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much. When I tried to follow the instructions on the pattern I ended up with a waistcoat totally inside out - my brain doesn’t work well with lining fabric. I spent an hour unpicking it & another hour following you clear visuals and instructions to complete my waistcoat - the correct way round !!

Thank you so much! I was struggling with closing the side seams of the waistcoat I'm making before I watched this. Also, its so good not to have annoying music in the background.

Thank you so much. I was making a vest for my bilbo cosplay and to say I was lost would be an understatement. I was so confused I thought about giving up. Thank you for your easy to follow tutorial!

Thank you very much. I like not having music . I have made a vest using another video and screwed it up. This helps me a lot. Your comment about button holes is me now as the vest I messed up I did on a serger with home dec fabric. I wanted to do a chilly weather vest. Thanks again.

The best how to video on lining a vest, HANDS DOWN!

Thank you. I made my 4 granddaughters, DIL, and myself Easter dresses but couldn’t decide on what to do for my husband, son, and 2 grandsons to coordinate. This is perfect.

Hands down the best tutorial I found on this. I am wearing my vest everywhere now.

For every special occasion I make a new vest according your instructions. With a print that looks made for this. Thank you so much for the fun I have making them.

Great video on making a vest 60 years in the trade and learning something each day… I am 82 years old and still learning Thanks Bans….🇨🇦

Absolutely ingenious. My husband plays in a band and wanted a black waistcoat with very flamboyant lining. I drafted a pattern from one of his waistcoats and followed your instructions and it worked perfectly, I am gobsmacked! Thank you so much x

Oh! Thank you . You made it so easy especially sewing side seams in a circle.

The best vest tutorial I have EVER SEEN, thank you!

Excellent method, thank you. Just started sewing my first waistcoat with zero instructions so this was very helpful.

This video has been very helpful for me. I’ll be sewing my waistcoat while checking your video as I go. Thank you so much.
