High-End Fashion Vest from Recycled Plastic Bottles

Step 6Creating the Back of the Vest

Creating the Back of the Vest
The back of the vest is made of 10 pieces

1. Use four of the main pieces- 7" Width by 5 " Length (upper part back)
2.Cut two pieces- 5" Width by 5" Length (lower middle back-waistline)
3.Cut two pieces-5" Length by 2 1/2" Widht,measured at the widest point ( those are the side armhole part,they should be a little curved)
4.Cut two pieces- 6 1/2" Length by 2.5"Widht (side panels)

Attach the four main pieces (1) for the back using links on each end.
Cut out a curve at the upper side for the neckline.
The lower piecess-would be the middle back or waistline,we want to jazz it up a little and accent the waistline. So we cut three pieces of trim and topsticthing at the waistling,also serve it's purpose to hold the pieces together.
Then we attach the side armholes pieces to the main structure,using the links, and we topstitch more trim ( on the side) for proportion .
Next,attach (2) the square pieces to the main back structure,using a link for each end.

Next,using a link for each side ,attach the side pieces (4) to the main back.

Now we have the back pattern ,all put together:)

Then we take the front with the shoulder pieces already attached,and using a link for each end we attach the back to the front!

The following should be achieved (as shown on the picture)

Next step is attaching the side of the vest.
I used three links for each side, place them 3 1/2" apart.

And Now we have the vest all finished,except the buttons:)
