The Wardrobe By Me Pike Vest PDF Sewing Pattern is a classic waistcoat sewing pattern designed as a versatile wardrobe layer. Wear it over shirts, T-shirts or a polo for an easy extra layer with a distinctly traditional feel.
The Pike Vest features a V-neckline, front button fastening and large front patch pockets, giving the design an old-school, practical character. The back is shaped with a curved back seam and darts for a more considered fit, while an inside pocket provides additional storage.
The vest is fully lined, with facings along all edges for a neat, finished interior. The pattern is available in sizes SXS–4XL.
Designed for light to medium-weight woven fabrics, the Pike Vest works with cotton, linen, wool, corduroy or twill. Interfacing is used to add structure, while lining provides a clean finish on the inside.
With a skill level of 3/4, this is an intermediate sewing project. The instructions are easy to follow and fully illustrated, with a video sew-along available for additional guidance. If you're new to sewing welt pockets or working with princess seams, Wardrobe By Me recommends practising on scrap fabric before making the final garment.
The colour PDF sewing pattern includes layered pattern pieces, trimless pages, metric and imperial measurements, and seam allowances. For home printing, A4 and Letter versions are supplied in 30 pages, while an A0 printshop format is supplied across 2 pages. A separate colour projector file is also included.
Before printing, check the test square on the first pattern page measures 2 x 2 in / 5 x 5 cm. For the best results, print the A4 or Letter file using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
