✨Audrey’s quilted hoodie was my very first quilt coat, and here’s my number one tip—the one that made all the difference:
Make a demo first. I used old towels (they’re thick like a quilt) so I could test the fit and construction before cutting into a precious quilt—and I’m so glad I did. It gave me the confidence to finally do it!
✨After my mock-up, I made three small but important changes:
1️⃣ Lengthened the sleeves and body hem about 3”
2️⃣ Gave the neckline a little more room (about 1” at the shoulders)
3️⃣ Added a scalloped hem by tracing a bowl and finishing it with bias binding to gently hug the curves
✨If sewing a quilt jacket is something you’ve been longing to try—but indecision or fear of choosing the wrong pattern has held you back—this is your sign.
✨I’ve gathered 6 great quilt jacket patterns so you don’t have to guess.
You don’t have to be fearless. You just have to start.
