To Make a Reversible Vest:To make a reversible vest, choose two lightweight woven fabrics for main and lining fabrics, and add pockets to the lining front pieces in addition to the main front pieces. Faux welt pockets are recommended to help reduce bulk. When stitching buttons in place, stitch buttons on both the main and lining sides of the vest. To reduce bulk on back of vest, do not add back ties.
