As indicated in the drawing, openings for the hands should be left in the side seams. In order for the vest to be more voluminous and keep its shape, at the level of the chest, waist and slightly lower than the waist, you can sew a tape from polyethylene. The synthetic winterizer part will be internal, it should be adjusted according to the figure and then the second same part should be made of yellow fabric.
After that, it is necessary to carve out two identical parts (back and front). Tucks need to grind and cut out applications in the form of a mouth, nose and eye.
