Its value in the market reaches up to 20 times its cost of manufacture and the fines for not having it reach up to the thousand. Enough numbers to get down working and learning how to make the fashion reflective vest this summer.

 

The materials are not difficult to find and the sewing process is not that complicated, says Alejandra, academic coordinator of the U. del Pacifica School of Design and Costume.

 

The Government published what designs are allowed and the dimensions that must have the safety vest, so there is more to get to work:

-1 meter yellow fluorine fabric (you will wear between 50 and 70 cm depending on your texture).

-Line of the same color or transparent polyester.

-Velcro yellow Reflective tape of at least 50mm thickness.

 

The designer of the U. of the Pacific recommends that for the measures another garment is used as reference, bearing in mind that the high visibility vest will be used on the clothes you have put. It cannot be very tight.

In the case of women, you should measure the contour of the bust, which is the widest part of the torso, and give it a few extra centimeters for extra slack.

When the fabrics and molds are already trimmed, the seam comes. Next, check the arrangement that should have the reflective holes:

The bands that surround the torso must be at least 50mm apart between them, as well as with the lower edge of the fabric.

 

“With a homemade machine can be done without problems, because the materials are not very thick, but it would be advisable to work with the largest stitch and a slightly loose tension to avoid problems,” concludes designer Alejandra from the U. of the Pacific.

 

The decree that requires having the vest in the car rules from January 1 of this year and the controversy has not only been in the price that the vests reached, but in the writing of the rule, since Carabineers will not be able to fine Who do not wear the safety vest when getting off the vehicle, but punish the drivers for not having it stored in the car.
