I am now wondering if I could use the shirting fabrics I was thinking about for a quilt to do this jacket.

What does anyone think.


That sounds good @Iminei have you joined a quilt club?

The quilt group is from 10 to 12 ... Ie I would have half the time if I joined, as I need to go to work but I do pop in now and then.

That’s a shame @Iminei i know the feeling, I go nowhere much but you can guarantee if there is something worth going to it is on a day I can’t do or is in the evening which I am not keen on doing.

As Promised I returned to the quilt group and the lovely Georgina had brought her gorgeous jacket.

Georgina's Patchwork Jacket

She said if she would make another one she wouldnt use the Poly wadding she did as it made it too puffy and that she made the sleeves from two pieces to avoid it sticking out at a right angle (?) Does that sound right peeps??

Anyway, its gorgeous and a rather nice take on the idea, I hope you'll agree!

That's very cleverly done, and really nice that it's not too "busy".

Lovely!

It has got a raglan sleeve rather than a set in sleeve, and these type of sleeves often come in two pieces or have a dart at the top. Its a good idea for this type of coat as the armhole seam is easier to do.

That’s lovely @Iminei shame about the wadding.  A nice cotton would have been better.

From the lovely Georgina ...

Hi Iminei,
Here are a few in progress pics of the jacket, I didnt take many somehow.

I basically designed my design onto a scaled picture of the pattern pieces, I also drew 1" grid on the paper pattern piece so I could reference and position blocks as I made them.

I made each of the pattern pieces as it's own quilted piece and then stitched them together as the pattern says. Binding the edges instead of hemming and binding the seams inside (you need to take into account hem allowance on length and sleeves that you would have on the pattern piece and remove it or your jacket will be much longer than intended, you can always try it on and cut off excess before you bind the edges).

Also with the sleeves my pattern was a two part sleeve so I made the sleeve quilt pieces with just top and batting and then constructed them and after attaching them to the body of the jacket I added a separate lining to hide seams and batting and to reduce stiffness in the sleeve.

Hope that all makes sense and helps someone somehow haha.

Oh that jacket is something rather special.  I see on the last photo there is just a glimpse of a pattern instruction piece, do you think this lady would be willing to give is make and pattern number please?

Zooming in on the photo, the layout sheet says it is a Burda pattern, but I can’t find which one ... yet  :thinking:

Looking at the line drawing, I think it is Burda 9363, but it is a child’s pattern.
