I've wanted to make a qulted coast since I saw one on Pinterest last summer. I made this coat over the winter but haven't had much chance to wear it until this week.
Rather than cut up an existing quilt, I made my pattern, then created quilted pieces that I sewed together. I really wanted a raglan sleeve and that was a big challenge - especially for the quilted part.
I used a Log Cabin quilt pattern for the back since it is one of my favorite patterns.
I also call this my table cloth coat since the coat was made from 4 table cloths, 1 sheet, 1 pillowcase and a shower curtain (lining). The material cost $5.25 (City Thrift) and the batting I got at an estate sale for $2.
This is my $7.25 quilted coat.
Making sure the pattern piece fits!
