Looking great @Kad  I love your fabric.
What do you think of the fit?

This is my wearable toile so far. I’ve cheated and cut up a quilted throw that I bought ages ago and I’ve added two pockets and plan to change the neckline and make it into a V shape. I might try shaping the back too as I don’t like the sticky out look.

That's looking good @WildAtlanticWay. You can always just have a more scooped curve to the front neck if you want comfort but to maintain that look.

I finished it. This is my quilted wearable toile.

I lengthened the original Jacket pattern inc. sleeves as I don’t like Jackets to be too short on me. I also altered the neckline and added two patch pockets. I’ll make a start on my patchwork jacket next.

Thank you. ☺️

Please join in and have a go. Really, there’s nothing to be afraid of as you know how to use a sewing machine and sew a seam and you can create beautiful patchwork quilts so you’re already halfway there!

What does it matter if you make a mistake? It’s only fabric

I’ll try again.

That looks better.

We had Maria Thomas (Maria Thomas Textiles) as a speaker at my monthly quilt group today and these are two of a series of jackets that she has made.  They are for decoration only as they would be most uncomfortable to wear as she uses wallpaper, teabags and many other things to get the effect that she wants.  It was very interesting.
