I tend to think that this will not be a coat that will require frequent washing if at all. Her patch pockets will secure an area to the batting. There is probably enough seams with the hems and binding to secure the batting. She has used the quilt as a whole fabric which is a lovely look as opposed to sewing the squares to the batting. A softer more fluid look for the coat. Love the look.
I have just subscribed to your channel. I love your quilt coat tutorial from 2 years ago. What did you do with the other quilts and fabrics which you bought?❤❤❤
I love both, but I would wear the short jacket more often. Where did you find the shop with piles of quilts and quilt tops? Mind sharing your secret shopping trip?
I made this and I absolutely love it! Pink & Purple reversible witch hat. I added interfacing to the cone and that was great for shape but not for flipping. As it came out a little on the small size I'm whipping up another larger and well black as is far more befitting of a witch of my years haha ... I mean cackle cackle!!
I made this yesterday, took me wayy more than 30min but came out so cool. I used thick black velvet and interfaced half of the pieces. Don't forget to trim & clip your curves and use your iron at each step, it changes everything (and maybe topstitch the border) ! Also i would recommand sewing a line near the border of the hat to create a channel so that the wire doesn't move. Also, as usual : always right sides together.
im here to say the tutorial is really great and it's totally possible to make this hat without any experience, sewing machine or idea what you're doing, it's just that it took me a WHOLE day instead of 30 minutes 🥲 but totally worth it
It took a while because I had to recut one brim, and I hand sewed because I do not have access to a sewing machine. But I'm dearly in love with it, I used blue fabric and it's AMAZING. Thank you!
I have torn two hats today trying to turn them right side out. I scrolled to the end of RU-vid and I cannot find a video that shows how to turn these right side out.
Sewing 1/2 inch in on the cones made it so the cone circle was smaller than the inner donut circle and so it didn’t align when I tried to sew. Also it was very difficult to sew the cone onto the inner circle of the brim.
Hi! For the twin needle, you may need to fuss with the tension and presser foot pressure, as well as the stitch length. I’ve had this issue too and on my machine, the “normal” stitch tension is ~5-6 and I have to turn it down to 2 for the twin needle. I also use a longer stitch length, and leave long thread tails at the beginning and end. DO NOT backstitch- this will create a tangle. What you need to do is tie the thread tails in a knot at the beginning and end. Hope this helps!
Please, what's your head circumference and height? I'd like to know whether it won't be falling into my eyes and won't look crazy high or short on me 😅💛
You might be better off doing your own head circumference. All heads are different, especially if you have thick/full hair! However, a 4 inch radius will give you a circumference of about 25 inches. My own head is about 23 inches around. You also need to take into account where you want the hat to sit (directly across your forehead vs sitting more towards the back of your head).
