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.

This is not always perfect and I apologise for any parts that are difficult to follow.

(1) Apply all fusible interlinings.

* Cut the "front facing" lapel section and attach it to the "Front bodice" lapel section.

(2) Stitch together the "Front bodice," "Front bodice side," side of the "Back bodice," and the side of the "Back bodice" with the Back bodice center line. Then, stitch the shoulders together and press seam allowances open with an iron.

* Make cuts or shape as necessary to smooth out any puckered areas.

(3) Stitch the "front facing" to the "Front bodice lining" and press seam allowances open with an iron.

(4) Similarly to step (2), stitch the side and shoulder of the "lining" to shape the lining.

(5) Sew the "dummy pocket" at the dummy pocket position and the "pocket" at the pocket position.

How to sew pockets

(6) Align the "Collar" to the collar stop position and sew it onto the right side and lining.

* Attach the "Collar" with fusible interlining to the right side and without to the lining.

(7) Fold the armhole section of the right side and lining inward by 1cm (or 0.5in) and press with an iron to shape.

(8) Stitch around from the notch mark on the part to be turned over to the collar stop position.

* Before turning over, make notches in areas where the fabric hangs over the seam allowance.

(9) Once the shape is properly pressed with an iron, secure the edges with topstitching.

(10) Fold the "Collar" back and lightly press the lapel section with an iron to shape.

(11) Align the armhole sections and secure with topstitching.
