gary Report post Posted December 9, 2014 TLF do a pattern pack. I made the attached pattern up from a tailor's textbook and it is workable in leather with a bit of fiddling. PPattern 17 _ Waistcoat.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ingrid H Report post Posted December 9, 2014 Have you looked at regular sewing patterns such as those from Simplicity, Vogue, or Butterick? Most can be done in light leather with no changes. If you are going to make a women's vest, the sizing is different for patterns than off-the-rack clothing. A woman who buys a size 10 in a store could be a size 16 for a pattern, so check the measurements on the sizing chart. I don't know about men's sizing. That could just be in inches.
