Elegant classic style - a great solution for a little gentleman. And such an image is hard to imagine without a vest. It can be worn for a walk, and to school, and for celebration. How to make a vest for a boy? Sewing (the pattern will be described below) such a product is not difficult, and after studying the step-by-step manufacturing, you can even become an ace in this matter and make your little mod a whole collection to conquer girl’s hearts daily in an inimitable way.
Material and color selection
To work without fail, you will need basic fabric for the top and lining. Usually in the classic (costume) version of the vest, both materials are taken in the same color scheme, but if you experiment a little, you can get a very interesting result. For example, silk pinstriped sailor suits fine as a lining. And you can take a combination of both blue and white, and white with red. A magenta pad is a great solution for a contrasting combination with black.
Patterns of vests for boys are cut from the canvas with minimal allowances for seams, and in the places of curvature notches are made on the details. Therefore, it is better to select fabrics that are not very showered. Such products will be more practical and will last longer.
Hardware selection
Various buttons, zippers, stripes and other elements of decor and accessories are selected based on the style of the vest. To combine with jeans, you can safely make pockets with iron zippers, use rivets, iron buttons and glue various translations. But for a harmonious combination with trousers, you need to limit yourself to welt pockets in a frame or with a leaf. Patterns of vests for boys in these cases are similar, only some changes along the back are possible, regulating the height of the hem of the hem, as well as the location of decorative elements, pockets and fasteners.
Create Template
There are two options for constructing a pattern of vests for boys. The first is the standard one used by seamstresses, and the second is for the lazy. For those who don’t really like to measure a figure and do any calculations, the simplest method based on a child’s t-shirt is suitable. It involves the transfer of the contours of the product, including the side and shoulder seams, as well as the neckline on the back. All other lines, such as armholes, the bottom of the product and the middle section of the front shelf, are simply drawn depending on the intended model of the vest. Patterns of vests for the boy may differ in the depth of the neckline and the design of the hem on the back. Original look models with sharp to the bottom front shelves and high back to the line of the belt of trousers.
Making out the armhole, you should take into account the width of the sleeve of the shirt. It is better to make this cutout a few centimeters more so that ugly folds do not form. Patterns of vests for boys can be with tuck tucks that stab directly when trying on the product. They are made only on the main fabric, and the lining is left straight.
Build Secrets
Knowing how to make a waistcoat pattern for a boy, we can assume that the product is already ready, because the assembly is very simple. The constructed template is used for cutting both the main canvas and the lining. Before connecting the parts, you should work through all the pockets, if provided. After the shoulder seams are alternately sewn, both parts (the main and the lining) are neatly chipped along the armholes and neck, and then stitched. Next, the product is turned out and the side seams are processed. The final stage is the design of the bottom of the vest. The product is again inverted, the hem of the shelves is closed, leaving a hole for inversion near one side seam, at the end it is carefully closed with a manual seam. After processing, the product is ironed with steam, loops are swept out and buttons are sewn.
