The round vest is a very simple and, at the same time, very original model. The pattern of this vest, as its name implies, is a circle. This model has several drapery options and, depending on the chosen fabric, can be part of both an office wardrobe and an informal style.

Round vest: material selection and preparation for work

How to sew a round vest with your own hands?

The round vest can be made from a variety of medium-weight fabrics, as well as faux suede or thick coat fabrics. You should not sew such a vest from very thin fabrics, the upper drapery of which will be too flat. If you have chosen a double-sided fabric, or a fabric with a fur or beautiful fleece backing, the round vest can be sewn from only one piece.

In addition, you can make a double vest by cutting out two circles from fabrics that are interestingly combined with each other. The inside of the vest is visible on the top lapel and, in the case of a double vest, you will have the option of wearing it in two ways.

In our case, an additional detail was made so that the front side of the same fabric was in the lapel of the vest. You will need a piece of fabric, the length of which is equal to the diameter of the circle you need. In our case, this diameter was 95 centimeters and 5 centimeters went to the belt (the length of which is equal to the width of the fabric).

The outer edge of the vest and the armholes are trimmed with a bias trim cut from the same piece of fabric, but you can also buy a finished trim by calculating the required length using the circumference formula.

Our round vest fastens with one button, but if the fabric of your choice is non-slip, you can do without the fastener.

So, let's sew a round vest!

Building a pattern

If you have such an opportunity, we recommend cutting out a test copy from an unnecessary cut of the cheapest fabric (for example, an old sheet). The main question that needs to be decided is at what level to make armhole cutouts. Depending on the width of the top, above the armholes, the round vest will drape differently on the shoulders. It also depends on the width (diameter) of the circle you choose. At a minimum, it should be equal to the circumference of the chest, if you need a fastener or a deeper smell of a vest, you should also increase the diameter of the circle.

To cut a round vest, take two measurements:

• Width of the back (press your arms to your sides and measure the distance between your arms between your shoulder blades)
• Armhole height (the easiest way to measure on finished clothes, an average of 15-20 cm)

The round vest can be cut directly onto the fabric, but you can also make a pattern.

To do this, just draw a circle of the desired diameter (in our case, 95 centimeters). The distance between the oval armholes is equal to the measurement of the width of the back, their length is the height of the armhole. Armhole width - 7-10 cm.

The armholes can be located both in the middle of the circle (then the vest will be shorter and the turn-down collar larger), and above the center. In our model, the distance from the top of the circle to the beginning of the armhole line is 25 cm.

cutting

Cut a strip 5 cm long across the entire width (150 cm) of the fabric for the belt.

From the remaining cut, cut a circle by circling the pattern, or use this option:

Fold the square in half and in half again so that the center of the large square is in one of the corners of the folded square. Now once again fold the square into a triangle, holding the corner that is the center with your hand (it can be chopped off with a pin).

Using a ruler or centimeter as a compass, draw a circle line from the center point. Trim the fabric along the outline.

Straighten the circle and trim the edges. In the case of a one-sided vest (made of a fabric with a beautiful inside), you need to cut out one circle.

For a fully reversible vest, cut out two full circles.

In the case of a waistcoat lined at the hem of the turn-down collar, cut out one full circle plus an additional piece that would go into the armholes with one edge and go down to the waistline on the sides (as shown in the photo).

From the central part left after the additional part, cut out a slanting inlay. Mark several strips 3 cm wide.

Sew along the top edges as shown in the photo. The seam line must be moved to the left or right by one row of stripes.

Cut the stitched part with a spiral, cut the allowances and iron. Also cut out the bias tape from the scraps remaining after cutting the circle.

Sewing a vest

Fold the belt piece in half and iron. Iron the long edges to the middle line inwards. Turn inward 5 mm from each end and wrap the belt along the ironed lines, sweep.

Sew close to the edge, starting from one short end, then along the entire length of the belt and along the second end.

Finish the edges of the additional piece (except armholes and outer semicircle) by turning inward 5 mm and sewing close to the edge. Fold the main part and the additional part of the collar wrong sides to each other. Peel off all edges. Baste along the outer circle and armholes.

Fold the bias tape in half and iron. Iron the long edges to the middle line inwards.

Unfold the bias tape and cut at a right angle from one end. Fold this edge of the trim inward 5mm and fold right side to the front of the armhole at the level of the bottom edge of the armhole. Baste the bias trim along the first ironed line along the entire length of the armhole. Finish basting 1-1.5 cm further than the beginning, with an overlap.

Sew next to the basting. Take out the note. Turn the trim up and iron the seam. Wrap the trim on the wrong side and, tucking the second edge along the ironed line, bast to the seam allowances.

Sew the bias trim to the seam allowances by hand using a blind stitch. Also, bias-trim the second armhole and the outer circle of the vest.

Try on a vest and decide on a place for a button. Run a welt loop on one side, sew a button on the other side of the vest.
