About the Press waistcoat sewing pattern

The Press Waistcoat is a super simple make with endless versatility. You can choose to fasten it with a matching tie, a pre-made tie, or wear it edge to edge for a clean, minimal look.

The pattern includes two construction methods:

• Bagged out – for a neat, simple finish that works beautifully with lighter-weight fabrics.

• Bound edge – perfect for quilted fabrics or if you’d like to make the edges a feature in their own right.

Choosing suitable fabrics for the Press waistcoat pattern

The Press Waistcoat can be made in all sorts of fabrics—from crisp cottons to cosy, heavier wools—making it a piece you can adapt for any season.

It’s an ideal stash-buster, perfect for using up those leftover pieces from other projects. The pattern works beautifully in quilted fabrics (you could even quilt your own!), and a patchwork version would be just as lovely.

The waistcoat can even be made reversible. With so many ways to sew it, the creative possibilities really are endless!
