Doubling Vest with Lining, Shoulder Seams
Place vest pieces consisting of fabric and lining onto each other, right sides facing, seams meet. Pin upper and bottom edges, neck and arm line edges onto each other, about 3 cm away from the marked shoulder seam lines, seam lines meeting. Stitch (a) secure seam endings, trim seam allowances, cut at the rounded sides, and cut diagonally at the edges. Turn vest and iron the edges. Place front pieces right sides facing onto the back piece. Pin the shoulder edges of the fabric vest pieces onto each other. Do not pin lining. Stitch. (b) At the lining, reach into the open seam line of the middle seam in the back; pull one of the already stitched shoulder seams out through the opening. Pin the shoulder seam of the lining vest. Stitch. © Pull the lining’s shoulder seam out of the vest a little bit. Fold apart and iron the seam allowances. This can be done on a wooden spoon. (d) Sew the open seam line at the neck and arm seam base. (e) Pull the shoulder seam back through the opening of the middle seam of the lining. Repeat the process with the other shoulder seam of the lining. Sew the open seam of the lining by hand. Stitch around the seams of the vest, allowing 7 mm. Sew buttonholes to the right front edge. Sow buttons to the left edge and the flaps.

Lapel
Fold the front edges of the neckline along the wrap line facing out, lightly iron the fabric fold line. (f)
Sew lapel edges to the front pieces with a few stitches by hand.
