Manually or with use of the sewing machine sweep off edges of all details. Then sew humeral parts of shelves and a back. It is necessary to do it from inner side. Also – on a wrong side - sew side seams.

Sheathe it all edges of a vest (begin and finish on the middle of a back). Sew a snake detachable or sew buttons on the one hand, sew laid on eyelets from an inlay.

6. Cut out patchpockets, sheathe them an inlay slanting and decorate with appliques, an embroidery or a fringe. If it is required, sew patchpockets. Depending on style of a vest, pockets can be from fabric of other color or in tone. The children's vest is ready.
