Swallowtail Vest Sewing Patterns | DRCOS Patterns & How To Make

Comments are made using translation software.

This is a pattern for a vest with swallowtails, as requested.

It includes lining, with dummy pockets for the chest pockets, and both side pockets are welt pockets for added simplicity.

The swallowtail section is elongated with cosplay purposes in mind, so when making it, please adjust the length if it seems too long when pinned to your body in the paper form.

While the tailor collar section might pose a bit of a challenge, the rest of the construction process is relatively simple, mostly involving sewing and turning inside out, so the difficulty isn't as high as it may appear.

This pattern is also suitable as a base for modifications such as changing the pockets to welt pockets or altering the design significantly.

To ensure a clean body line, the pattern has been redrafted with three-dimensional shaping, resulting in a visibly clean line when worn.

After printing, paste it according to the pasting line,Cut and use.

The pattern has a seam allowance, so it can be used as is.

The production process is explained with translation software.

(1) Apply fusible interlining to each piece.

* Cut the Lapel part in front of the "facing" and attach it to the Lapel part of the "Front bodice".

(2) Sew together the sides of "Front bodice", "Front bodice side", "Back bodice side", and "Back bodice", aligning the sides, and finally sew the shoulders together, pressing open the seam allowance (S/A) with an iron.

* Make incisions on the fabric where the seam allowance (S/A) causes it to hang.

(3) Sew the front facing and the lining of the "Front bodice" together, pressing open the seam allowance (S/A) with an iron.

(4) The lining follows a similar process as in (2) to shape it by sewing together the sides and shoulders.

(5) Attach fake pockets at the fake pocket positions and pockets at the pocket positions.
