#Adult flynn rider vest movie
I think the vest in the movie only had 3 belt loops, but I put in 7 for good measure. Turn the corduroy vest inside out and attach it to the outside half of the collar, right sides together.īefore we start sewing the lining to the corduroy, it would be best to add things like belt loops and pockets if you want them. Sew right sides together along the top 3 edges and turn right sides out. Curve the cut a little to make a slightly concave angle.Īdd some interfacing, the stuff I had was fairly stiff, so I only put it on one side of the collar. Measure 6" in from each end and cut from there to the opposite corner of the same end to get the trapezoid shape. It doesn't really matter but I cut the two pieces with the wales running in opposite directions. Cut two corduroy rectangles this length by about 4 ½" including seam allowance.
Let's start with the collar: measure from one chest stripe across the neck to the other chest stripe to get the collar length. Now things are going to get a little more tricky. Cut the V in the neck from the little chest stripe up to where the shoulder seam meets the neck, leaving a seam allowance. Hang it on a coat hanger and pin the inside to the outside making sure there are no wrinkles. Make sure it fits in front, remembering that you need about 3/4" overlap of the two sides, a seam allowance, and you'll probably be wearing a puffy shirt underneath. Make sure everything fits and no alterations are needed. Leave the bottom 4" of all side seams unsewn since there will be a split there.
Leave a little extra seam allowance there so that the outside front doesn't end up taller than the inside front.Īttach the linings, right sides together, at the shoulders and sides, then do the same for the corduroy pieces. On the lining sew the front tops directly to the front bottoms, but on the corduroy, add a strip in between the two, with the grain running parallel with the seams. Sew the yoke to the back on both the inside and outside fabric. Now the fun begins! Start by assembling the fronts and backs. Freehand the line in chalk, decide which half looks better, fold it in half, and cut along the line so both halves are the same. Put an arrow across each upper front pattern piece indicating the grain direction of the fabric, as indicated in the photos from the link.įor the back pattern, you'll need to cut the yoke which goes from sleeve seam to sleeve seam with a little dip in the middle. Lay the front halves on top of one another, wrong sides together, and cut the top from the bottom along the V line. Then separate the front pattern from the back by cutting along the seams at the tops of the shoulders. Now you can cut the front in half along the center. Remove the pins, and cut off the sides & sleeves. Also draw a centerline and put in the V on the chest where the vest material changes direction. Put a mark where your belt buckle usually sits, then take it off and trace the side lines where the pins are. Try to approximate the sleeve seams with some chalk, my shoulders aren't very wide so I just traced the existing seams in the T-shirt, only a couple of inches in so they lined up with the pins up the side. Pin it up the sides so it fits the way you want.
A bit of a kiwi specialty, a wire coat hanger will do fine as wellĪll the pictures of animated characters are the property of Disney®įirst try on your T-shirt, we're going to cut it up and turn it into a pattern for the vest. Perhaps not the best choice for an indoor dance party, it got pretty warm wearing a long shirt & trousers as well. For the lining I chose some navy quilted poplin to give it a bit of structure and insulation in case I ever need it for a chilly Halloween party or something. They say the vest is made out of some sort of leather, but I chose some blueish-teal 16 WPI corduroy partly because I love corduroy, and partly because it was on sale. I found this handy resource that gave me all the details that were needed: Flynn is the roguish hero from Disney's Tangled, a new twist on the tale of Rapunzel. This is how I made my Flynn Rider costume for a local fairytale ball I recently attended.
