Description
Sew a chic, fitted tweed vest with a modern twist. This sleeveless waistcoat has a square neckline, an asymmetric front that crosses over at an angle, seven gold buttons and a shaped waist seam that flares into a pointed peplum hem. It looks elegant with wide-leg trousers, a skirt or jeans.
Make it in a textured tweed, bouclé or wool blend for that classic tailored feel.
What You Will Make
- A fitted sleeveless vest with princess-style side panels
- A square neckline with a crossover front
- An asymmetric button stand with 7 buttons and buttonholes
- A waist seam with a flared, angled peplum

What Is Included
- Written sewing guide (23 pages): style overview, materials, a printable measurement worksheet, how to draft each piece from your own measurements, cutting, interfacing, step-by-step sewing, buttonholes, lining, fitting and care.

Good to know: this is a draft-to-your-size guide. There are no printable full-size pattern sheets and no pre-graded sizes. You draft the pieces from your own bust, waist, hip and length, then test them with a quick paper or fabric toile. This way the vest is shaped to your body.
