DIY Waistcoat | Step by step sewing tutorial | How to make a fitted waistcoat

Hi everyone,
Welcome or welcome back to my channel. My name is Jess and I love doing DIY, making clothes in a "simply but pretty" way.
In today's video, I'm going to share with you how I made my waistcoat. This is the perfect DIY for this transition season. You can wear this waistcoat by itself or layer it with a t-shirt or shirt, even a dress too.
To make this DIY, please check out my basic information below:
- Sewing machine: Merrit Joyful Sewing
- Material: 1m of khaki fabric
- My body measurements: 80-64-92cm. I'm 165cm tall and usually wear Small size. The pattern created based on my body size for your reference.
I learn sewing by myself. So I would love to know more sharing from you guys to improve my skill. Please join me in this sewing journey by being a part of it here www.jessdangdiy.com/

I've never seen a channel that is this well explained and friendly to beginners, I'll definitely buy some fabric and sew this for myself, thank youuuuuu

[@user-yl7mq8of9f]

Thank you so much for the step by step explanation and speed of the tutorial. Very much appreciated! My waistcoat turned out a treat! 😍😍😍

[@dory99boat]

You’re remarkably good at precise instructions from layout to sewing. I’m subscribed now. Thank you.

[@JessDangDIY]

Thank you for loving it!

[@MariaCaradAnjo]

i love you this is the best pattern tutorial i have ever seen, simple straight to the point and adjustable. thank you

[@reeseoroni]

I just want to mention that UNDERSTITCHING is very important to help the outside lie correctly. GREAT JOB ON THIS WAISTCOAT!

[@JessDangDIY]

Thanks a lot!

OMG em đã luôn chờ đợi chiếc tutorial này đó ạ, thấy hiện video mà em vui quá chừng luôn, cảm ơn chị nhiều ạ 🥰🥳

Thank younso much! This is the first time to understand how to do it all! Very informative and inspiring!😍😍😍

[@nithindreemendis875]

I just finished sewing a tier skirt from your tutorial (it was for the Barbie movie and it turned out lovely!) and wanted to sew a vest for a separate outfit and stumbled upon this video! I love your videos, they're so simple and fun to watch too :) Thank you for making them!

[@JessDangDIY]

I'm so happy you find them helpful

[@MsGorobin]

This is simply gorgeous! Your method is clean and precise. Very well done. Thank you for sharing!💞

Very beautiful. I have never done one but your video looks very easy to follow. Thanks Jess for your dedication

[@JessDangDIY]

Thank you for loving it too! It was my first timing trying to make it. And it's totally worthy if you're into minimal and chic style

[@s.m.j.4817]

Precioso! Te quedó muy bonito.

Ohhhh u have no idea how much i love the way you teach tnx alottt❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for such clear instructions! This kind of pocket has confused me for some time. Now I understand how it works.

[@JessDangDIY]

Thank you so much! I made this vest today and it has easily become one of my favorite things I've made and worn:) You really are carrying all the beginner sewists on your back ha! --eagerly tuned in to see what you make next

Thank you so much. I really wanted to sew this pattern😊 Thank you Jess❤

[@JessDangDIY]

You are so welcome!

[@mamabear7243]

Best sewing tutorial for a vest that I’ve seen. The only think I would do different is somehow make the last open seam for turning at the side interior seam.

[@JessDangDIY]

Yeah, that’s what I would do for the next time too. Didn’t realized it until I watched it again 😋

[@ezgicoskun5722]

Than you Jess, like always, love your tutorials a lot!

[@JessDangDIY]

Thanks for loving it!

[@brendasmith8394]

You're too good. I love it. I'm going to try this. I've already invested $22 in the fabric. Great video. Thanks

[@JessDangDIY]

Thanks for loving it! For this one, it's better to test it out with cheap fabric first before using your expensive one. Because it's quite fitted and you might need to adjust some parts too.

[@kelebogilebaloyi1206]

Oh Jess, this is beautiful and you make it pretty, but simple as you promise - can't wait to make it. It's nice to see you grow.😍😍

Thank you Jess! This video is great and easy to follow. I would like to try and make one for myself using your video. How much fabric do I need?

[@JessDangDIY]

It's my pleasure. I used around 1m of fabric

[@daceernstsone2737]

Thank you for sharing your skills. I would love to have a vest like that, it looks wonderful. How could I make my own pattern? Maybe you have a tutorial for a basic pattern?

[@JessDangDIY]

You can follow along my tutorial and change the body measurements at each step where I share the way I got them.

[@unaugelvik2376]

Hi Jessie I am going to make your pattern for the vest. Can you please explain what measurement "inside shoulder size" mean. Thank you

[@abbiefarmer7548]

hey jess this is amazing! how would i make the welt pocket a real pocket by adding a pocket bag? xx

[@JessDangDIY]

To make it real, you can add the lining at the top of the pocket (the inside part)

Can you tell me what neck contour you have and did you use? What length of garment did you base it on? kisses from Argentina

[@rinoachan6852]

I should have known this video earlier, so it saves my money to buy a paper pattern for waistcoat. Not to mention that the contour of your pattern is even more feminine!

Hi Jess, I love your video. Can I check how do I measure my inside shoulder size? Thank you

[@JessDangDIY]

It's the width between 2 arms. You can measure it from the gap between the arm and the chest to the other side.

[@manuelarossi8703]

thank you jess, i was also wondering about this :) @@JessDangDIY

[@eminekarg1438]

🙏

[@aprilkeyes2420]

Great video as always. But something is missing from this one. Something wasn't said clearly or shown. I got to the end with right sides showing and 2 openings at the bottom (as shown) and 2 side openings (as shown). This is a dead end. Now there is no way to close the sides or the openings at the bottom. If you go inside out and close these openings, now there is no way to turn the garment right out again.

[@IlhamEl-vh5lq]

Grazie mille

[@JessDangDIY]

Thank you!

Hi jess! i have silly question, what is this "pen" you use?
