I’m just going to share a little tip that I learn and use when I am cutting something like a jacket that will require me to finish edges from a blanket or curtain that already had finished edges is I use the already finished edges to save myself some time and sewing. I made a cool pirate jacket from a curtain once, the front edge down the long skirt part of the jacket and the bottom hem have the original hem from when the curtain was factory made. Saved me loads of time! It was a solid color with no pattern so that was what made doing this an easy choice. Sometimes patterned fabric doesn’t give you that option but I still wanted to share. The jacket looks amazing and I love how the pattern matched up in the front even if it was a happy accident! So glad that stunning quilt is getting a second life!
the jacket is beautiful! it is probably technically not a vintage quilt because it is all one piece and printed as one piece of fabric. a vintage quilt would be pieced. but there is no question it is beautiful! the fact that you matched your print so well in the front shows you did an excellent job! better than a neophyte seamstress:)
Learn to do French seams, because at the age of 62 I can tell you that was one of the best skills. My grandmother taught me along with knitting and crocheting, and all the other things like that but it’s a great skill and very useful especially if you want to make things reversible.
The fact that you noticed a potential problem before cutting anything out was an excellent example for all sewers to follow. You were right to check with grandma. Typically if there’s a one way nap or pattern repeat, all pieces need to be cut out in the same direction. Extra thought also needs to be given for collars as they roll and can easily end up upside down. This quilt is a beautiful choice for this project. You were genius to have done a practice coat out of a less precious fabric. I like that we’re learning from your mistakes and that you are so open, relatable, and matter of fact when talking through the process. The pattern matching is something that more advanced sewers don’t always do as well with. Very well done indeed!!!!!
It suits you so well! love the matching pattern on the front. I probably would not have the courage to cut up that beautiful quilt. Great that you did it 😊
I'm an intermediate/advanced sewist and I'm honestly so impressed! You did a great job! I'm excited to make one- I downloaded the pattern a while ago and watching videos for inspo! Keep sewing!
I’m totally impressed! I’ve been seeing for decades and I don’t know if I could do this. A walking foot on your machine would really have made this easier.
It was fun to watch this video, the coat is wonderful. A small thing you might want to do next time is point. your pins toward the center of your pieces rather than towards the edge. If you do that you will be able to remove them with your right hand and get the pins to your pin cushion much easier, I learned to do this when I first started quilting and it was so much easier to sew and deal with pins.
Wow, you are so talented and brave! I would never have had the nerve to try something like that at your age. So keep it up and keep making videos for us!
Absolutely gorgeous. I have been thinking about making one and I think I'm gonna have to after seeing how beautiful yours turned out. I just have a hard time cutting up the quilts. I'm gonna have to find one that I don't fall in love with but you did a excellent job. Just a little trick, try and layout your pattern wear your sleeves and front and back are pinned around the edge of the quilt where you won't have to hem them. They already have the finish from the quilt. Hopefully I explained that correctly. Your sleeves and front and back will not have to be sewed. Finished edges from the quilt but Absolutely gorgeous
You can put some fray check on those seams to prevent them from fraying. You can buy it at any fabric store, JoAnns or on Amazon. Its made by Dritz. Other brands make it,, too! OR next time, use the hong kong or princess seam method. GREAT JOB! The coat looks fabulous.
You did an awesome job! You can tell see genetic talent has been handed down cuz your finished product does not look beginner at all. Can't wait to see more. Im a new follower and a seasoned sewer.😁
That was very impressive, especially for someone so new to sewing. I've taught a lot of people to sew and always start with something simple like a tote bag or zippered pouch. I may re-think that after seeing this video :). Well done!
Wow. The placement of the design looks like you spent hours planning it!!! Front and back. Good job. Many more sewing projects in your future... Watching while sewing a quilt top together.
Impressive Coat. You might like to consider putting the heads of your pins towards the seam. That way you can take them out with your right hand and don‘t have to reach with your left arm over the right.
Wow. I am going to embark on my second ever quilt soon. And I got a little distracted by quilted coats. Maybe in 2022. Gorgeous pattern. Beautiful colour and florals. Beautiful person. I live in NB, Canada, and I would love a quilted coat with buttons for spring and fall. Not sure if I would put buttons on that one though. Either would be lovely.
My goodness 😍😍😍 this coat is GORGEOUS! I'm a beginner sewist myself and would love to make a quilted jacket/ coat so looking for some inspiration and this helped massively. Your explanation of the stuff you were doing was really helpful and the finished outcome is stunning. Well done lovely ❤️
@@whatabbeywore I think you may have inspired me. Just looked at the prices for a decent sewing machine..now that I've picked my jaw up off the floor.....
Nice work! It turned out so good. Did you lengthen the pattern at all? I like how long your coat is, but didn't think the pattern was that long. Can I ask how tall you are?

Loved this video and the coat turned out awesome . The music was a bummer.
So beautiful! That quilt is such a good find! I can't believe this is your third sewing project, that is crazy. Great job!
Thank you so much!! My mom has the eye too haha that's how I came to it!

Thank you so much!! And I am absolutely investing in a walking foot for thick projects like this from now on hah! Thank you!
You matched up the pattern perfectly. Great job!!! It’s beautiful.
So very cute yes add them. You are truly blessed with the gift.

@@whatabbeywore I think you may have inspired me. Just looked at the prices for a decent sewing machine..now that I've picked my jaw up off the floor.....
Oh my goodness!! Do it!! I am so glad I could inspire🥰
Harikasın😊
Cutting that beautiful quilt up is criminal!
Good job. Xx
Wonderful. Keep on sewing.
You should take some of your extra material and make cuffs and add..turning sleeve not ideal...wide cuffs would look awesome. Either way beautiful ❤
Looks amazing ☀️
Thank you so much!🥰
So CUTE! Did a great job, keep it up xx
Thank you so much!!🥰🥰
Nice work! It turned out so good. Did you lengthen the pattern at all? I like how long your coat is, but didn't think the pattern was that long. Can I ask how tall you are?
A toggle type button would be nice
Really good, congratulations
So you cut with right sides facing each other folded together? Does pattern say to do that? I think I’ll mess up lol. Your coat is beautiful
Beautifully done!!
Great job! I love it
I want to try this so bad! It looks amazing!
You should! Thank you so much!!

Great job. I want to use my denim scraps to make a jacket. Any suggestions for me??
I would look up patchwork on Pinterest and maybe get inspired by it!!
how did you finish the seams on the inside? Did you put bias over the seams?
👏👏👏
So beautiful!!! What pattern did you use?
I used the fabrics-store Paloa pattern! The link should be in the description :) Thank you!!
What pattern did you use.
If that’s a messy room then mine is a dumpster 😅
