How to sew an Oh Sew Warm Vest!

Step 7 The Incision!

Mark a line about 0.25" up from the bottom of the welt, and make a small incision at the dart (if your pocket crosses it). Then, go back on the sewing machine, and strengthen the dart near the cut by sewing back and fourth a bit over the ends near the hole. Trim the dart, as shown in the pictures, so that there is less fabric loitering around to fold over and sew. Now, cut across a pocket hole, with the last 0.25" cut downwards at 45° to get down into the bottom corners (remember, we drew the line 0.25" up from the bottom. Make sure the two corners are where you want the corners of the welt to be.
