How to quickly sew a vest with your own hands without a pattern
A vest is a type of clothing that anyone can make with their own hands, even if they have never tried to sew before. In this case, it is recommended to choose models, the implementation of which does not require the creation of complex patterns and careful processing of individual components - sewing in a collar or hood, sewing in the lining, hems, fasteners. This allows you to sew a vest, even without using a sewing machine. The simplest but most effective vest is made from a rectangular piece of fabric with non-fraying edges:
- fleece;
- polar fleece;
- neoprene;
- loden;
- knitwear;
- cloth;
- leather or leatherette;
- natural or artificial sheepskin coat.
In addition to fabric, to sew a vest you will need scissors, a ruler and chalk.
- Draw a rectangle 75×115-140 cm on the fabric.
- Fold it in half.
- Along the upper edge, at a distance of 21 cm from the fold of the fabric, mark a point from which to set 15 cm down.
- Mark armholes 20-25 cm deep.
- Make cuts for the armholes.
The vest is ready! This model can be worn unbuttoned. In addition, it looks good when wrapped and tied with a belt or fastened with buttons, hooks, snaps, or a zipper. To do this, you will need to place a fastener on the vest's shelves.
A beautiful vest with softly draping round tails is made from a circle with a diameter of 110 cm.
- Draw a circle and mark its center.
- Stepping 25 cm apart from the center of the circle, mark the lower points of the future armholes.
- From these points, draw perpendicular segments 25 cm long and make cuts along them.
Like the previous model, a wrap-around vest with round tails can be worn unbuttoned or tied with a belt. If you have a machine, all sections can be treated with decorative trim, narrow strips of leather or fur.

How to sew a vest from an old fur coat with your own hands, master class
A fur vest is a recent fashion trend that is worn with pleasure by men, women and children. Not a single autumn-winter collection is complete without such models. They are worn in combination with clothing in sports, folk, business and casual styles.
The style of the vest can be any - short or long, straight, trapezoidal or fitted. Particularly popular, due to their practicality, are elongated vests made from natural and artificial fur, sheepskin, as well as combinations of leather, suede, cashmere, wool, jacquard, knitwear with fur. You can sew a fur vest yourself using:
- artificial fur;
- natural skins;
- old fur products, for example, a fur coat;
- scraps of fur.
The length of the pile also does not matter - the vest will turn out beautiful from astrakhan or mink, as well as from silver fox or scribe. To avoid damaging the pile when cutting the vest, the vest should be cut with a sharp stationery knife, after first transferring the contours of the parts to the wrong side of the fur. If the parts are assembled in separate pieces, be sure to take into account the direction of the pile when cutting.
You can sew the cut parts by hand or on a furrier's machine. Separately, using the same patterns, you should assemble the lining and sew it to the already assembled vest. Make a fastener by sewing hooks, ties or making loops and sewing on buttons.
You can see in detail how to sew a new fashionable vest from an old fur coat in the video below.
You can sew a fashionable vest from natural fur even without a machine, using only a crochet hook, thread, a gypsy needle and a punch. How to do this is shown step by step in the photo.

How to sew a men's vest with your own hands, master class
Every woman who knows how to sew a little and has chosen a suitable pattern can independently make a vest for her beloved man. Sewing a vest begins with cutting. To do this, you need to re-shoot or print the details of the vest. Lay them out on the fabric lengthwise, outline them with chalk, mark the seam allowances - 1.5 cm each. Cut out the parts, baste them and try them on, make adjustments. Then assemble the vest - first stitching the darts, then the shoulder and side seams, ironing them. After this, it is necessary to process the sections of the armhole, neck, sides and bottom with tape, knitted elastic or facing. The assembly is completed by the design of the fastener - it can be with buttons, buttons, hooks or a zipper. When using fabrics with non-fraying edges, the section processing step can be skipped, leaving them open. This casual design looks great on casual jeans and linen. If thin and soft fabrics are used to sew a vest, in order for them to keep their shape, the parts of the shelves can be glued with non-woven fabric. In this case, it is recommended to place the vest on a lining. It is cut out of lightweight fabric in bright colors, using the same pattern as for the top details. The lining is assembled in the same way as the top parts, sewing down the shoulder and side seams and ironing them. Then, fold the lining and top face to face, join them with one stitch, leaving a small gap to turn the vest facing. Carefully sew up the remaining open area and iron all seams. Use a single stitch to connect the lining to the top at the armholes, and iron the seams. Features of the stages of sewing a vest can be seen in the video below.
Classic women's vest with collar
A vest using this pattern can be sewn not only in a strict business style. If you use elegant fabric, decorate with beads or embroidery, we will get a very interesting version of the vest.
For size 48, with OG = 96 cm, OT = 76 cm and OB = 104 cm, the pattern is shown below.
For sizes 50 and 52, patterns are given on the same drawing, marked with different lines. For size 50 OG = 100 cm, OT = 78 cm, OB = 106 cm. For size 52 OG = 104 cm, OT = 82 cm, OB = 110 cm.
The patterns do not include seam allowances. As you can see from the picture, each square has a side equal to 10 cm. You need to set the appropriate scale and print each sheet.
In addition, you need to cut out pocket facings 18x2.5 cm (4 pcs.), pocket valances 18x5 cm (2 pcs.)
How to sew a vest from jeans with your own hands, step by step with photos
The return of 90s fashion to the catwalks has made denim vests popular again. This allowed needlewomen to take a closer look at the old denim items in their wardrobes and use them to create a new fashionable item of clothing.
1. The easiest way to make a fashionable vest is from an old denim jacket or shirt, while its style and color do not really matter. Simply cut off the sleeves and the vest is ready.
2. Very interesting models of vests are obtained if you use old jeans and skirts to sew them.
An original vest model can be sewn by purchasing a piece of denim specifically for this purpose. For sewing you will need up to 1 m of fabric.
Denim vest pattern
When cutting a vest, it is recommended to use a paper pattern. You can build it yourself based on your measurements, or use your favorite T-shirt for this purpose, folding it in half and transferring the contours onto paper.
Assembling parts cut from fabric is not difficult. To do this, you need to machine sew the shoulder and side seams. The processing features of the neckline, armhole, hem and fastener depend on the intended design. If desired, they can be deliberately left untreated, since the resulting fringe is back in fashion.
A denim vest can be decorated with lace, ribbons, fur, patterns applied with special acrylic paints, stripes, stones or metal rivets, spikes, eyelets, zippers, add scuffs and holes. Such decor will add uniqueness to a hand-sewn denim model.
The master class, presented in the video below, demonstrates in detail how to sew an original vest from old jeans.
An example of the decor of a DIY denim vest is shown in the video below.
