Jacket looks great. I'm a quilter and a sewist. It's pretty common to be tired of looking at your project after working with it . Hang it in the closet. A week or so. It's cute
Thank you, I will take your advice!!
Next clothing project, try using a French seam. Sew right sides out at 1/4", iron seam open flat (carefully cut batting from seam). Turn garment to wrong side and sew at 3/8" seam.
Add sleeves to garments before sewing side seam, so much easier...
If you ever have an opportunity to buy a new machine, get one with an "automatic" buttonhole option. When you sew buttons on, put the knot on the outside. Use a small clear button on the inside and put a toothpick btwn outside button and outside of coat. When you finish sewing button, wind thread around under the button and right side of coat, knot the thread 3x.
I watched your quilt jacket tutorial, after looking for weeks for ideas. I LOVED it. You have a great calming voice and such honesty in your “first time attempt” at something. Thank you so much! I am almost 70, and anyone, any age could watch you and learn.
Hi Dolly, thank you so much for your kind words! I am so happy you enjoyed the video and it was helpful! ☺️💖
It would have been easier to sew if you took the batting out of the seams before doing the flat felled seams and I always add the sleeves before sewing the side seams. That way the project is flat until the side seams and arm .seams are one. YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB. And it looks lovely
You know what, I actually tried that with the first flat felled seam and it definitely was easier but it looked too flat compared to the others. Thank you so much!! ☺️
It's such a cool pattern and the colors stand out which I love! Totally outside of my usual style but after seeing the finished jacket, I'm really diggin it! The sneakers add a great finishing touch to the overall look!
Thank you so much! That's exactly what I needed to hear haha 💖
Very helpful video. Love how it turned out. You did a great job with selecting placement of your pattern pieces. I agree just hide it for a while. I'm the same when I finish a big quilt. Don't want to look at it for quite a while
Thank you, and glad you enjoyed! 😊
You did an amazing challenging job here. It’s a great color combo too. I might try it but I might add denim to neck, pockets and cuffs. You’re enthusiasm is contagious. I’m 66 and have tried several jackets through the years and never got your great results. Thank you!
Thank you Phyllis, that means a lot! And oh my gosh I love the denim idea, wish I'd thought of that!
I love it!!!! Those are fantastic colors!
Just wow the jacket is just wow!
You have a calm voice, clear explanations, keep up the good work
I appreciate you sharing your projects 🥰
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed ☺️
I am in love with the colours! Good job on the collar.
Yes great choice and job. Love it!
Thanks for doing this!
I like it. It looks fabulous ❤
Love the jacket! Nice job.
Oh my god! I fell in love with this jacket when I saw the thumbnail, but I would have never thought of using the pepperming magazine pattern! I've seen it before and thought it wasn't what I was looking for, but now I see that it fits 100%!! Thank you for the video!
You're welcome!!
Love! thank you for sharing. I mostly quilt and I have just found my next jacket. thank you for sharing and the tutorial is so helpful!!!!
You are very welcome!!
Alicia this came out perfect, just like you! 😍
I love it!
I loved your video! I love batik prints and have this idea to patch and quilt them and then make a vest. You have inspired me. I think I can do this! Thanks!
Wishing you the best of luck! Hope it turns out amazing!
Thanks so much for showing every step in detail. I made the same jacket and would have never been able to do correctly attach bias binding without your help. I'm so grateful! 🌷
Ahh I am so happy to hear that!! 💖
oh my gosh i love this!! we are on the same wavelength because i literally made a quilted jacket like 2 weeks ago!!
Omg no way!! I guess the trend is still alive and well haha
Very nice job! Colors are great. Thank you for doing this video. It gives me hope for doing my own.
Thank you, and best of luck!!
Looking at the quilt I was with you where I wasn't sure, but seeing it finished I think it looks great in it's jacket form! 🔥
The diamond pattern near the top is definitely a really cool touch.
Thank you so much!!!
Totally adorable jacket. You are a brave girl and it paid off Great job!!

Thanks for your instructions for this jacket, I feel confident to have a g0 at my quilt, even though I've been sewing for years ❤
Best of luck!
The colours are beautiful and you did a fabulous job
Thank you!!
Thank you for this tutorial. I bought a couple of quilts from eBay with the intention of turning one into a jacket. I've been browsing everywhere for a pattern that won't be too fiddly but I do like the pattern you used, and have downloaded it for my own use. I love the colours in your jacket and the placement of your pattern pieces worked out just perfectly. It's a fantastic job. :)
Thank you!! I hope your jacket turns out amazing! ☺️
Wow you did a great job putting that jacket together awesome job thank you so much for sharing❣️🧵✂️🪡💕
Thank you, that means a lot! Glad you enjoyed ☺️

Thank you so much, and best of luck with your jacket!! 😊
I love it, it pairs so good with your denim too
Thank you!!
Thanks for this video! I learned sooo much!
I'm so glad you enjoyed!! Thanks for watching!
Hello, Alycia! The jacket turned out very nice! I love what you did with it? I was wondering what size you used from the pattern? It fits you so well.
Thank you! I am typically a size medium and if I remember correctly I used size C. I was in between sizes based on my measurements so I decided to size up. Definitely recommend!
Looks great!
Thank you!
Great jacket
Great. Job
So happy to be your first viewer this morning 😊
Thank you so much for watching! Enjoy! ☺️
You are talented sewer.
Thank you!
hi! I cant figure out the sizing on the pattern. if you dont mind me asking what size did you make? thank you so much xx love the video!! :)
Hey! I typically wear a size medium. My true measurements were between size C and D so I decided to size up and go with D because I preferred it to be a little oversized and that worked out really well! 😊
@@AlyciaThrifts Thank you so so much!! I'm so excited to make this noww xx
I added the item to my cart but there is no Cart area on the website?? Weird. Any ideas of how to download this pattern???
The checkout should open automatically after adding to cart!
If the jacket is sewn with this seam, could it be reversible?
Not really because it looks a little different from the inside
Please share how you printed the pattern. I purchased the pattern through the link you provided however when trying to print the full version of the pattern at my local Kinko/FedEx location it does not print properly as it is an 8-1/2 x 11 pdf. I printed the home version no problem but would need to piece it together. . . .not a fan of that process. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Hey I printed at home so I can't really provide any additional info about the full version. Maybe reach out to the pattern creators, they should be able to help!
@@AlyciaThrifts got it. Thank you!
What does “bad sides” mean?
Whichever side is going to be on the inside of your garment!
