I hate using patterns. Your video is the best vest info on youtube.

[@jack.e_bee]

I'm here to find out how to do the arm holes in a lined waistcoat and you explained it so perfectly, and made it so simple. Thank you for this 😊

[@zombiegirl71]

Thank u!! Did one once forgot how and got soooo mad cuz i couldn’t do it again. Love the vid. Easy and fast info you rock!!

[@LYoung-op5ub]

Yes, be clear on how to add the zipper, outer vs lining. Us newbies were confused. Thanks

[@tammy_silver]

It’s a really useful video, just what I needed to finish my jacket lining :)

[@paintedlayers2154]

Thank you! Glad it helped!

This is exactly what I was looking for.😀 Your instructions are very easy to follow, Thanks so much for sharing I'm definitely a new subbi & I look forward to what you make next.😀 Have a great day

[@paintedlayers2154]

Aww thank you 😄

Great vest. Almost exactly what I am looking for. I just need this vest in a size for a six year old boy. This tutorial was done very well. Easy to follow with great directions. I'm a beginner but I think i can follow this and make a pretty good vest. I don't own a zipper foot but I'm sure I can find a video to put the zipper in without it.

[@paintedlayers2154]

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😄 you could use a regular foot it’s just more difficult because the width of the regular foot will now allow you to get close to the zipper. Good luck!

[@lourdesjune6946]

Hi, I was wondering if after you pinned the outer fabric to the lining with the zipper in btwn, do you sew that before you sew the collar together? You pinned them, but never mentioned sewing them, so I was a little confused. Also, do you have any links for videos where you show how you do the arm hole in more detail? That part intimidates me for sure! Thanks so much!

[@Diana-cg2pt]

Awesome! Thanks !

[@paintedlayers2154]

Thanks for watching!

Thank you.

I can't get on how to donthe armholes. I can't Figure Out what you are doing :(

[@bijasatterlee5725]

I want to try this with waxed canvas and wool lining.

[@IreneBarba-yx1us]

I followed the pattern (purchased). My zipper pull is on the inside. This is so confusing. The lining needs to be called lining. When I view the finished product on your site, the zipper pull is also placed on the inside. I'm going to have to figure out how to fix the problem as you have the same problem. My abstract reasoning is challenged trying to figure out the fix. Uggggh

[@nezhahsnikwah2873]

Hi, if you don't mind & have time could you please make an video showing an up close version of how you're completing the sleeve hole portion of the vest? I'm having trouble with the sleeve hole, its getting frustrating. Thanks in advance for your time & consideration.

[@paintedlayers2154]

Ni' Acea hey! Don’t think I will be able to make another video of it anytime soon unfortunately. It is a tricky step because you are adding clips from the inside. Which part of it are you getting stuck on?

[@nezhahsnikwah2873]

Painted Layers Hi again & Thanks a bunch for responding. I understand. I kept having trouble with the pinning inside part. I think it was because I kept flipping it inside out and pinning it then sewing. After several tries I just flipped it right side out & then folded the arm hole pieces inward until the right sides were touching flush together then I ironed them down & pinned then sewed them together. That worked that time but I really wanted the no outside stitch look but I had to do something to make it work. Question: when you clip or pin from the inside which way or side of the fabric do you stitch it closed on? Thanks for your time again Have a great night

[@paintedlayers2154]

Hey! I would use clips instead of pins for this if you can. So with the vest right side out you want to reach inside from the bottom of the vest and add the clips around the arm hole so that right sides are together. Once you have them clipped all the way around pull the arm hole out through the opening in the bottom to sew along the arm hole so that you are sewing on the wrong side of the fabric then your stitches won’t show on the outside which is yes definitely the look you want. Hope that helps, I know it’s tricky!

[@nezhahsnikwah2873]

@@paintedlayers2154 Hi, again & Thanks so much for taking the time to explain this technique to me. I really appreciate it. I'm going to practice this on some scrap fabric to get this done correctly. 😊 Thanks again & have a wonderful evening.

[@loiskubota9111]

Hello, can you provide your website? I’d like to purchase this pattern

[@autumnjoycemarie]

Going to sew one. Do you have to sew the collar before the arm holes? Also at what step would it be the best to add pockets? Thanks!

[@paintedlayers2154]

Hi! Yes I would sew the collar first. I would add the pockets to the 2 front outer pieces after you cut those out!

[@4ngelo213]

hi @4:13-4:15 how did you handle the overhang of fabric when sewing?

[@paintedlayers2154]

eric bostic Hi! There technically should not be overhang of fabric if there is try to sew 1/4th inch from the edge of the shorter piece or cut/trim your fabric so that both pieces of fabric are the same length. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching:)

[@4ngelo213]

@@paintedlayers2154 thank you (: and I'm technologically not advanced lol, when sewing the sleeve holes is your fabrics right side out and are you splitting the two fabrics and maneuvering around the hole as you sew? seems hard >.

[@sewdonna13]

Hi After viewing your video I was wondering about attachment of the zipper. You indicated to attach it to the outer fabric first, right sides out, however, you attached it to the gray fabric first. I thought the gray fabric was the inner fabric and the plaid was the outer fabric as pictured. IT seemed to work but was a bit confusing. Thank you D

[@paintedlayers2154]

Hi yes sorry for the confusion. It works both ways but I found it was easier to attach it to the outer fabric first after the fact :/ so for this one do as I say not as I do lol

[@msuadmire]

The arms holes are so confusing.

[@zombiegirl71]

I know!!! I thought i had it figured out. No. But i think she is turning the seam in from the outside then topstitching the armholes closed. I know theres a better way i just cant recall!!!

[@zombiegirl71]

Yes. But i just fingered it out my way. I had to turn the armhole twice to do stitch from under rather than a topstitch only seam. It is very frustrating. Cant afford to rip any more seams. Best way is to do it with side seams open and arms sewn w right sides together.

[@zombiegirl71]

Can be done from inside arms. Shes not clear i know. how much patience or whiskey do u got?? Lol

[@janinefreitas3468]

Hi isn't the zipper on backwards in the picture? You say to sew the zipper to the outer piece, but the video shows you attaching the zipper to the liner. I'm confused.

[@loiskubota9111]

Yes, I'm confused to!

[@bijasatterlee5725]

@@loiskubota9111 me too -but if you read all the comments and her replies she said do as I say not as I do because she found ultimately it was easier to sew to the outer fabric first. I can’t wait to try this myself:-)

[@scoobydaniel692]

Hey what type of fabric was the plaided fabric

[@paintedlayers2154]

It was wool from a thrifted shirt!
