Sewing pattern tutorial: the Pompon vest

The Pompon suit vest sewing pattern has it all:

• Its cut is perfect, cinched by waist darts.

• The length, neckline and armholes have been designed so that you can wear your Pompon cardigan next to your skin or over a t-shirt, shirt or tank top.

• The finishes are impeccable: Pompon is fully lined, with a lower hem and a facing, for a garment that is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside.

• The Pompon vest is embellished with two fake piped pockets on the front and a tightening tab on the back, for a very high-end look.

• Not very fabric-intensive, this pretty sewing project will allow you to use up your small coupons (it uses 1 m of fabric in the largest size)

This is a project aimed at intermediate level seamstresses, the technical points that will be used are:

• Sew hollowed out waist darts

• Sew fake piped pockets

• Assemble a lining with an inlaid facing (i.e. with oppositely rounded areas)

• How to assemble a lining with a sleeveless garment

• Sew a hem at the bottom of a garment

• Sew back legs and place a double tightening ring

You want to sew Pompon but you don't know all the sewing techniques described, don't panic!

Each step of assembling your vest is detailed in this step-by-step video, in addition to the illustrated brochure available with your PDF files. We recommend that you make a toile in order to discover the assembly range, test the techniques that you do not master well, and validate the fall of your garment. The front pockets are not necessary for the construction of the garment, you can not sew them and thus reduce the technical level of your pattern.

Happy sewing!
