Modern Sewing Company - Racer Vest - Pdf Sewing Pattern

£12.50

The Racer Vest is a jersey pattern that’s designed to feel like a second skin. The high neck and narrow shoulder gives the piece a sporty feel and the low scoop under the arms gives you the breathing space to avoid sweaty, tight underarms.

It’s an everyday piece that’s fun to make with the binding finishing giving you a chance to play with contrast colours. The making process is simple without cutting corners so it’s a great piece for beginners or anyone looking to make a modern wardrobe staple.

Sizing: 

UK Sizes 4 - 28 (with PDF Layers)

This pattern is a fitted jersey piece and it should feel like a second skin. The neck line is high but comfortable and the armholes are nice and low so they don’t feel tight under the armpits. We recommend paying attention to the bust measurement when choosing your size and adding or removing length to the body if required

Skill level: Suitable for beginners and early makers.

Main Fabric:
We recommend choosing a sturdy fabric for your main fabric. Suitable fabrics include cotton canvas or waxed cotton with a weight of around 9-13OZ / 300-450GSM.

Lining:
We recommend choosing a relatively sturdy lining to help give the bag shape - cotton canvas is a good option with a weight of around 7-10OZ / 250-350GSM. Your lining will be very visible when using the bag so choose a colour that compliments the main fabric.

Piping:
A mid/light weight cotton or linen is recommended for the piping to help reduce the bulky seam allowances. You can also think about introducing a pop of colour through your piping choice!
