Steps involved in making a Waistcoat Jacket
A) Required Items:
1) Sewing machine, with cotton line (different colours – grey and black used here).
2) Sewing pattern.
3) Jacket material (pure cotton, silk cotton, wool cotton) for front and back of jacket.
4) Inner lining – can be satin material. Think of complementary colours for lining and front of
jacket as well.
5) Interfacing material for front side of jacket. Choose approporiate colour.
6) Buttons.
7) Scissors, needles, pins, unpicker, marking pen, rotary cutter, cutting board, marking roller,

1) Under stitch - used to sew the folds on seam lines to one side, this gives the seam a more
defined shape.
2) Stay stitch – used to create a temporary stitch line that is easily removable.
3) Back stitch – this should be used at the start and end of any standard stitch.
4) Baste stitch -

C) Sequence:
Photo 1 – Measure chest, choose correct size from pattern supplied and cut out pattern for back and front, including
jacket front material (x2), jacket back material (x2), interfacing for front piece (x2) – which is cut 1cm smaller, and the
lining (x2).

Photo 2 – Fold material for front of jacket piece and pin along the line of grain. If material is poorly cut, then
approximate the line. Line up edges when pinning as the idea is to cut two pieces at the same time. Ensure that you are
cutting the correct side of the material.

material.
