Sewing Quilted Patchwork Jackets: Four Approaches, Ten Distinctive Designs, Two Downloadable Patterns (Landauer) Upcycle Your Fabrics and Stash to Create Handmade Quilted Wearables

Create hand-crafted quilted jackets with patchwork!

10 designs, four construction techniques, and two downloadable jacket patternsRepurpose and upcycle old quilts, quilting blocks, and fabric to make unique, handmade clothingTips and tricks for construction, fit, and customized sizingInspiring gallery of additional designs to spark your creativity

Sewing Quilted Patchwork Jackets will take you through each step of the process to handcraft a quilted jacket!

Whether you want to use new fabrics or you are upcycling and repurposing an existing quilt, orphan blocks, or fabric scraps, you will learn to properly position blocks, add appliqué elements, layer, quilt, and construct piece-by-piece.

Authors Rae Cumbie and Carrie Emerson reveal the four different approaches they use: jackets with loose linings and two quilted layers; jackets with the lining quilted into a sandwich for three layers; reversible jackets with two decorative sides and batting in between; and jackets created from already made quilts.

For beginners to wearable quilting, the authors provide an overview of materials and tools needed, basic garment construction, fabric selection, piecing and placement, liners, hem length, and finishing details including collars, cuffs, and pockets. Two basic multi-size downloadable patterns are available — one for an adult and one for a child — with multiple length options. Intermediate and advanced quilters can modify the projects to suit their level of expertise, finding inspiration to be adventurous from the included gallery of quilted jacket designs.

Co-author Rae Cumbie is a custom clothing designer with 20 years of experience. She specialized in wedding gowns and special occasion gowns. For more than 10 years she has been creating wearable art jackets. Co-author Carrie Emerson is an attorney and business manager who excels in sewing and quilting as well. She is great friends with Rae Cumbie and works with her on incorporating piecing and quilting designs into garments.

Ditch fast fashion and create amazing jackets by upcycling your old fabrics and scraps, with Sewing Quilted Patchwork Jackets!
