I sewed the shoulder seams together and left approximately 5 inches not sewn. Then I measured and sewed the side seams from under the arms down to bottom of the hips. I left the rest not sewn up. When I sewed it this way, the front of the vest was longer than the back because of the shoulders. I liked it this way, so I left it. If you don't like it, take out the rows you don't like off the sides.

You can embellish this however you want. You can add buttons or a tie or whatever. It's up to personal taste.
