Every single designer seems to have a quilt coat/jacket. Do you have a favorite?
Hi, all. I thrifted a bunch of quilting cotton remnants and was thinking of making a quilt jacket (with my general project timelines and indecision, starting now would have it optimistically ready by October).
So far, I am considering:
Helen’s Closet’s Wildwood
Spaghetti Western Sewing’s Rue
Sew Liberated’s Retazo
Daughter Judy’s Thompson
However, literally every single designer seems to have made a quilt jacket pattern (I counted at least six released in the last year!) so I know there are plenty more options. Has anyone tested multiple and have a favorite one they want to vouch for? Do any of them have any great finishes/design details that aren’t immediately evident in their item descriptions?
I searched Reddit already and the posts I could find were either from a couple years ago (when many quilt coat patterns out now weren’t even released yet) or were in the quilting subreddit (which I feel like might have slightly different preferences from garment sewists as their focus would be more on the textile show-off opportunity than the jacket design details, and mine is the opposite). Thanks so much!
