It would be easier to wear the vest over the sweater, but if you really want to sew it, you can :)
Just trace the outline of the vest onto the INSIDE of the sweater, if you can, make sure it fits comfortably on your body before you see it on, and then cut up through the middle of the sweater if it's a pull over hoodie (where your zipper will be) but if it already has a zipper, then skip this step. Cut out the outline of the vest, leaving about 1/2-1inch for the inseam. Then put the vest inside the hole that you made, and sew it together! Flip the jacket right-side-out and your done! Good luck :)

Mimi is right, outline and sew. I've done this before and I suggest (if your not experienced with sewing) practicing with old clothes. Best advice I ever got lol I love a fellow DIY girl good luck! And please post a pic when you finish!!
