Teri: I have mislaid your instructions for bagging a vest (the ones you
gave back when we were both on the aol boards). Last night, I decided
to make a vest - to wear for church this morning, of course - and could
not find the instructions, with the result that I had to burn the
midnight oil getting it finished.

Could you please repeat the instructions? This time, I wil make CERTAIN
it goes into my three-ring binder with all your other hints.

Dear Olwyn Mary,

Be happy to. Interface the front of the vest. If it has pockets or
other details, do them, too. Then sew the shoulder seams. Sew the
shoulder seams of the lining as well. Put lining to vest, right sides
facing, and sew all but the side seams. Trim and turn right side out.
Starting at the underarm match the lining to the lining and the outside
to the outside, and starting about three inches down on the lining,
begin sewing. You won't be able to get all the way around, but sew as
far as you can. You should end up somewhere on the lining side.
Finger press the seam open. Sew by hand, or zigzag the remaining seam
in the lining.

The reason you start and end on the lining side is so that your closing
stitches won't show.

Teri

Does this mean I sew the lining to the face fabric at the armholes as
well? Does it turn right side out through the side seams if I do it that
way? This was where I got confused. One of my reference books says to
pull everything through the shoulder seams, but that didn't sound
familiar.

Dear Olwyn Mary,

You pull everything through the open side seams. The shoulder method
is OK, and I sometimes use it for very thin shoulders, but it has to be
"perfect." If you leave the side seams open, you can fudge at the
lower edge by pressing. Not so with the shoulders being left open;
imperfect stitching will show.

Ok, thanks. I have printed it out (again) and will take it straight
upstairs to file this very evening. I am planning on making several
vests this winter, as I find I can wear a skirt/vest combo nearly all
year in this hot, sticky climate where jackets are too hot unless you
use a great deal of air conditioning.

Thanks again
