I thought the mock up was impressive, but the actual vest is three times as impressive. Your eye for detail is incredible. As always, I am impressed by your skill set.
I have half a mind to start a petition to make double inside pockets mandatory! But also, thank you my friend. I am glad you enjoyed my efforts this week. ☺
@@CorneliusQuiring that’s exactly how new things happen! Happy mistake and now you and everyone else will be making that same mistake on purpose! Trend setter😊
Good job~!! I need one of those too... (But remember most of the people watching are probably wearing muddy work shoes with the soles held on with hog rings, pants with multiple hand-sewn patches, and are simply trying to get together enough clothes to go for a job interview where they look less poor and destitute than the reality in their lives...) I like that you explain things without a lot of meaningless chatter... And Guys need to learn to sew and cook just to survive too... Enjoy the afternoon...
This vest is really good. Love the quilting with the wool batting. Is it warm? I also like a rounded or curved tail on the back of the vest. I have an old cotton flannelette sheet I thought would be good for the pocket lining to keep the hands a little bit warmer. Thanks for all the practical but smart finishing touches. The buttons are great but for wearing to feed and muck out the duck pen I think a zipper will have to do for the first attempt. The placket is good to stop the wind getting in. So many great design elements!!!
Thank you forcthe kind words. The vest is super warm and comfortable at the same time. I am wear it as I type :) I wear it a lot. Warm pockets is also a great idea. Hopefully the one you make turns out as you desire.
I believe what you're referring to is tailor's chalk and it's made of wax which melts into the fabric. You can also get clay chalk which rubs away. Hope that helps and thanks for watching & subscribing.
Hello Mr. Cornilius, U don't let people understanding how u sew this vest very well. U do this good work as if you are playing. Thou I love u. No mention of measurement u use for each angle( pocket, how u sew cover button , how u do alots of thing important about the vest. It is not clear to me. If you can re-sewing the vest step by step gently for people to understand it very well. U are doing well. May God bless u. I'm Joshua. Thanks.
I hear you Adegoke. This was not meant to be a tutorial. It is simply meant to be entertainment for those interested. Perhaps one day I will do a full, proper tutorial on how to make a vest. Thank you for watching and thank you for the feedback, I will consider it for the future.
Nice job! I just made my first jacket with lining and zippered pockets but I didn't do facing. Next time. I too like the taper in the back and the drop down on the sides of the hem is a nice touch. Is the collar stand too long in the front? The button flap (lap?) would bother me if it doesn't stay flat. Is that how you wanted it? I like the style and color. Looks perfect for a cool day outside.
Well congratulations on finishing your first jacket. That's a big project sounds like. And yes, it's a couple things. The flap isn't sitting as nice and flat as I want it too. That collar also doesn't go far enough down in the front either and finally, the actual sewing of the collar is really messy and uneven! Thanks for watching & commenting.
I have decided to take a good look at this video. You work so accurately and neatly, I'm typing: I don't do that, too much work, I don't feel like doing that, it takes so long. But then there is always something crooked, it is not comfortable, it is crooked and so on. But one thing I don't understand, how can you make that neat straight stitching?
Well I am flattered that you think my work is accurate. But you're right, I can't help myself from wanting to focus on the little details. 😄 As for the straight stitching, its 2 things I find: making sure that everything is well pressed and laying flat and secondly, a gentle touch. Letting the machine walk itself forward. Manhandling the fabric is how wonky stitches appear.
@@CorneliusQuiring Thanks voor the tips/reaction. Hahaha, well ironed, you say "Ain't Nobody Got Time for That!", Don't feel like it, and so on. I'm not known for the soft touch. And that's why I'm going to watch the video again. I once made a kind of shirt and that was way too small, never really measured my size that well. Then I made the pattern bigger (eye balled) and whatever it got, it didn't turn out to be a shirt. Tomorrow I'm going to buy tailor's chalk, get the ironing board ready, take my measurements again (since ten years ago), and start over.
Super job C. Very impressed with your lining, pockets and quilting. 💯Only explosion 💥 in my brain came when the beige thread ran out and white was substituted. Are there shops in your area that have notions?
Well thank you for the kind words. I am really happy with the vest too. We are completely locked down right now unfortunately. I was terrified of switching to white as well but I am okay with it. I am thinking about using a marker to color the thread beige. 😅
Hi, first of all, it looks amazing. I love how the project ended up, and GOOD LUCK in the third round :) I would like to ask you about the lining and how to sew it, especially I mean how to do the adjustments in armholes? Thanks a lot for any recommendations and help.
Thank you for the kind words. I am glad you like it. The keys found was to press the edge in on one side of the lining. Then, sew the side that hasn't been ironed down onto the inside of the armhole. Now fold it around to the outside and sew on the ironed edge. I hope that makes sense.
@@CorneliusQuiring Thank you :) I will look at it too but I also meant how you did the adjustments here --> 00:36 , when I was searching for it I found that the lining adjustments on armholes should be a little bit wider so arms have a room and it is not too tight. But I see now that you did it on the shell, not on the lining, so maybe your specific adjustments you do are not the same as you do when you do a coat with sleeve and lining too. I think you did it for a bigger armhole not because of the lining :) Sorry, I got it wrong first. But I will use this too. Have a beautiful day. :)
Yes, I did make the same adjustmens on the inside lining as I did on the outside. So I went down an inch and then out an inch by the armhole just like I did on the outside. I hope that helps.
Not sure if you'd ever notice it or not, but the vest Costner wears on Yellowstone has a leather collar. Not a huge deal. Thought you might find it interesting.
