Learn how to make Sheepskin/Shearling Vests with DIY leathercraft style patterns. Create exquisite universally fit unisex sheepskin vests. 10 sizes from XS to XXXL to really dial in the fit. Sew by hand with every stitching hole and measurements figured out for you. Just tape the pattern to your sheepskin, punch the pre marked stitching holes, cut your parts out on the lines, and sew while following along with the video.

Instead of just flat sizes there are also some extra sizes in between to get a perfect fit. The sizing and other pertinent information is listed below. Keep in mind for a better fit you'll want the chest measurement to determine how large a coat you make. If the stomach measurement tells you to make a larger size you will start to get a looser fit across the top of your torso. One size larger will be fine but if there is too much of a discrepancy between the stomach and chest you will start to have fit issues. As long as your not making a vest two or more sizes larger than what your chest measurement says to make in order to accommodate a larger stomach measurement you will be fine.

The sizing may be affected by the density and length of the sheepskins wool. The sheepskin used to make these had a 3/4" (19mm) fur. With that said, using sheepskin similar to what's used in the video the measurements will be as follows.
Chest measurement is taken underneath the armpits (not over the arms), and the stomach measurement is taken around the stomach at belly button height.
A. XS = 37" to 39.75" chest -&- 37" or less for stomach.
B. S = 40" to 41" chest -&- 38" or less for stomach.
C. M = 41" to 42.5" chest -&- 39.5" or less for stomach.
D. Between M&L = 42.5" to 43.75" chest -&- 40.75" or less for stomach.
E. L = 43.75" to 45" chest -&- 42" or less for stomach.
F. Between L&XL = 45" to 46" chest -&- 43" or less for stomach.
G. XL = 46" to 47.5" chest -&- 44.5" or less for stomach.
H. Between XL&XXL = 47.5" to 49" chest -&- 46" or less for stomach.
I. XXL = 49" to 50" chest -&- 47" or less for stomach.
J. XXXL = 50.25" to 51.75" chest -&- 49" or less for stomach.

The minimum square footage of sheepskin is listed below. However, you'll probably want to have more than that to compensate for thin edges, holes the skins may have, and difficulty in making sure your parts are cut from quality sections. What isn't used for your coat may be used for mittens, slippers, and hats. Cutting parts for the coat and one of those smaller items at the same time will ensure the best yield from each skin.
