There's more than one way to line a vest

Article Abstract:

Vests are fast to make and they are adaptable to versatile fabrics and embellishment. Lining is not necessary in a vest, but it covers construction messes, adds structure and body to the garment, helps prevent wrinkling and provides additional warmth. Four options are given to make lining a garment easier.
