Sewing a warm vest from stretchy fabrics

A vest is an ideal basic to pull over without hiding what is underneath. The ROMPI vest offers plenty of freedom of movement and still keeps you warm. The trendy high collar protects against the wind and is simply stylish. There is a practical chin guard to ensure that nothing pinches. The vest closes with a cuff at the stomach. ROMPI is very clean and simple, and therefore offers great opportunities to place appliqués. The zipper can be hemmed so that ROMPI also looks good on the inside. So neat and clean, and yet so simple! This vest should not be missing from any wardrobe, because it is essential for the "onion look"! Very comfortable made of sweat or quilted, slightly stretchy fabrics, it is an indispensable part of everyday life. Tip: The hood from the JAGA sweat jacket pattern can also be sewn onto the vest!

You can find the ROMPI vest pattern as a "paper pattern" in my book "Simply Sustainable Sewing - Children's Fashion".

Sewing a comfortable vest - even as a sewing beginner

The vest shouldn't be your very first sewing piece. But as a somewhat experienced beginner, it's definitely doable! The zipper isn't rocket science, and the instructions will guide you well. Just like with the collar, you can do it! The chin guard and inner finishing are optional, you can work your way up little by little.

The e-book takes you step by step with lots of pictures, making cutting and sewing child's play. The e-book also contains a small basic section in which common terms and sewing vocabulary are briefly explained. Printing and gluing the pattern together is also explained in detail!

The name ROMPI

We didn't go out on a limb with the name. ROMPI is Indonesian and means "vest!" It's as obvious as day.

Fabric recommendation:

ROMPI is designed for slightly stretchy fabrics. For example, sweat or French terry, but you can also make a great vest with fleece, quilted fabric, plush, jacquard knit or velour! You also need cuffs, bias tape and a separable zipper.

For the ROMPI vest you need the following amount of fabric (based on 140 cm fabric width plus seam allowances and buffer):

• size 110–128: 55 cm
• size 134–140: 60 cm
• size 146–164: 65 cm

You also need:

• Cuffs: 35 cm
• Divisible zipper:
  • size 110: 40 cm
  • size 116–122: 45 cm
  • size 128–140: 50 cm
  • size 146–152: 55 cm
  • size 158–164: 60 cm
• optional bias binding

Variations:

• Alternatively, you can sew narrow, lengthwise folded cuff strips onto the armholes and pocket openings. You will then need more cuff material.
• The hood from the JAGA sweat jacket pattern can also be sewn onto the ROMPI vest. Please use the zipper length from the sweat jacket. You will then need more fabric for the hood.
