Hi, I was first a garment sewer and the 5/8 seam is standard there. I’ve been quilting for a decade or two, so now I’m sure I’d find a 5/8 HUGE. but I clearly remember wondering how would I manage a 1/4” seam when this journey began. Nice work on the jacket!

@robinr6399 8 месяцев назад

Girl, I am with you on this one! Exactly what I was thinking when she talked about seam allowances🤣

@carrieestridge7583 8 месяцев назад

YES YES SAME LOL

@darlenemitchell4198 8 месяцев назад

I love your videos!! You are so down to earth & honest. When you use the 505 spray, does it fly all over, I saw you spraying near your cutting mat & wondered…

@francesrivera3569 8 месяцев назад

Same! 30ish years ago used my first 1/4 inch seam and it made my head hurt (after 20÷ years of garment sewing) 😂

@chriswilford3576 8 месяцев назад

I’m laughing at the 5/8th inch seam! It’s a standard in the garment industry. I too had trouble sewing a 1/4 inch seam when I started making quilts!

@wandawalker4191 8 месяцев назад

My mother said she remembered going to the feed store with my Grandfather when she was a little girl. She and her siblings would take turns going with him so they could pick out their favorite fabric on the sacks.

@jackiewilliamson374 8 месяцев назад

I remember the feed sacks. My dad had horses. I made a quilted jacket in a class. We even made our own shoulder pads to go in it. Yours turned out beautiful.. always enjoy your channel. Great job❤❤❤

@sallythekolcat 7 месяцев назад

the hindsight - darker lining comment. i would also suggest you consider a slipperier lining, to help you get your arms into the sleeves. you could leave the flannel as an interlining, and add a smooth cotton, or a satin lining, perhaps darker.

That is awesome. I love that coat.

@yvethemetriccrafter688 8 месяцев назад

@virginiagrenier8572 8 месяцев назад

I started off sewing clothing and it was the scraps from those clothing items that turned me on to quilts. So I went from 5/8 inch seams to 1/4 inch seams and I couldn't believe such a tiny seam would hold together. LOL

@penelopelinton7261 8 месяцев назад

I have been wanting to make a jacket from a quilt.. it is on my bucket list but haven't found quilt. I am primarily a garment sewer and quilt some. I love this idea because I can combine sewing a garment and quilting !! Thanks for sharing your journey. I think is this going to be my winter project.. I have tons of cotton scraps and don't know why because I am not a quilter ! 😃😃

@michellejaggard9657 8 месяцев назад

Usually on the bottom of a coat or jacket with a lining you don't sew the lining to the outer coat. After you wash it if you notice it bagging or puckkering at the bottom seperate the and hem seperate. Talk about 5/8" seams! I started out as a garment maker and going to a 1/4" freaked me out!! I thought how will an itty bitty 1/4" hold anything together!!! 50 years later as a seasoned quilter I understand. Tracy your jacket is amazing and so beautiful!!! I just love it. I heard at Quilt Market in Houston this year Quilt Appaeral was EVERYWHERE!! I think a few frogs on that jacket would be beautiful to hold it togather? (saves putting button holes in!

@marlahanks7278 4 месяца назад

I love this so much!! I've been wanting to make a quilt coat but didn't want to thumb thru clothes patterns to try to find one I liked. I'm so glad you shared the one you used along with all the tips & tricks 😊😊 I see someone commented they used a sweatshirt as the "lining". I would like to try that as well. I already have a sweatshirt I can use-I bought it years ago to cut up the center front & crochet all the way around the front, neck & bottom. I'd made 2 this way years ago.

@barbarajefferysings 8 месяцев назад

I came from a garment sewing background, but have sewn quilts almost exclusively for about 15 years. I recently made a costume, and, oh boy! Taking that 5/8" seam allowance was such a challenge! 😂 Really like my 1/4" seams and hope I don't need to make another garment anytime soon!!.BTW, my costume is a green patchwork vest with a peplum using about 50 different green fabrics!

@melissabailey566 8 месяцев назад

OMG! U R soon cute! I just LOVE your Vintage Quilted Coat. I've been a garment sewist fir over 50 yrs & I commend your SYCCESS on making your quilted coat. I had my hand on that very coat pattern. It ez enough but I'm not a fan of that dropped shoulder style. Having taught myself everything in sewing- I spoiled to the look of the ver fitted ' set in sleeve'. I love how the 5/8" seam shocked you. I've been teaching myself quilting fir the past 2'3 yrs & yup there's a definite difference in garment sewing seamd to quilting seams. Hats off or should I say COATS ON to you! Bravo! Great job! Sincerely, Melissa/ MamaLiss in NJ Did I talk enough? LOL

@TheSewingChannel 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for all of the kind words Melissa❤️

@nataliedrest5679 8 месяцев назад

First a dressmaker, second a quilter so 5/8 seams are normal to me. The sleeve pattern would have had a small triangle for the front of the sleeve and two small triangles for the back, placed so you match the front and back armholes on the coat pattern triangles. That coat pattern would also make an excellent dressing gown... maybe flannel/minky quilted?

@TheSewingChannel 8 месяцев назад

Yes...I totally thought of it in minky❤️

@Kara_Sews_N_Quilts 8 месяцев назад

I love the quilt coat! I sewed my kids' clothes so I am used to 5/8" seams. I bought a denim coat that an elderly sitter made. It was patchwork with raw frayed seams on the outside. It was all from recycled jeans. I still have it and I love it. I could probably use that pattern and remake it. Thanks

@Joy-eq6qg 8 месяцев назад

Tracey, straight line quilting is fine for most of your coat, but please do someting special on the collar. You worked so hard figuring it out, think your rose design would be extra nice there! Love your coat! I truly admire you for making it😊😊❤😊😊

@TheSewingChannel 8 месяцев назад

I'll have to try that on my next cut✅

@carolgoff4317 8 месяцев назад

Beautiful coat - beautiful job! Id like to help others when making your coat to remember to flip sleeve pattern piece over so that you have a right arm and a left arm. I made a robe years ago for my husband and made that mistake! No coming back from that one as there was no more of that fabric! Now im wondering if perhaps your pattern does not have a right and left sleeve and ive made things worst. Certainly not my intention. I truly admire your work and skill it took to make your jacket! Great jib!

@cherylrichards8951 8 месяцев назад

Tracy, I'm not sure where you live but I would try looking at estate sales or farm auctions for old flour sack materials. A lot of people used flour sacks to make dish towels. The ones my mom, grandmother, and aunt used were natural white. My grandmother would then wash them, hang them outside in the sun, then carefully remove the thread used to sew the material into sacks, and kept the thread (perhaps to tie her own quilts).

Just a hint on the arm holes. There are points/ arrows at the armholes one single arrow and one double arrow. That tells you what side of the sleeve goes to the front. Thank you for the video!

@lottiesmith8937 8 месяцев назад

You did a beautiful job making your coat of many colors! Back in 2002, I attended a class, and we made a similar jacket. We used 8 to 10 or so of different designs of cotton fabric that were cut into 3,4, and five inch widths of fabric strips. Then those stripes were cut into shorter ones and then assembled onto a sweatshirt that was taken apart and was used as the pattern and base instead of the quilt batting, then quilted and sewn back together. And like you, I was searching for every little scrap in order to finish the project. Lol Once again, Great job! 👍 Thank you for sharing.

@LUCINDA2789 8 месяцев назад

I've been working on it. Decided to use my scrape cause I had a lot of them and some other fabric I added if that doesn't work I will use the Pioneer woman fabric that I had got on sale in Oklahoma It's really amazing that these coat are getting vary Popular .

Ever since I saw you make your quilt coat I have wanted one so badly. I want a white background on mine too. I love it. I ordered a pattern for a double breasted pea coat. It keeps being shipped on a specific date then cancels. Might be snow storms. In the mean time I am watching shows on this topic hoping to not miss anything before cutting. 😋 can't wait to do it.

As someone who used, 💙loved, and mourned granny's feed sack quilts after they died. 😢 I decided to to wash her other feed sack hand sewn items more carefully, so they would last. Thanks for showing how they must have looked back then, and revealing a lot of the thought process used, such as saving fabric.

Oh my stars. You did an amazing job. Now you have a $1000 coat. At least, when you figure the fabric and the feed sacks and all of the time invested. You’re right that shawl collar is beautiful. I can’t read patterns either. I always just wing it. I can’t even follow simple quilt patterns. It’s one of the reasons I value you so much. I can always get inspiration from one of your videos to get myself out of a jam.

You did it again! I really do need to make myself a scrap wall of fame....or at least create an organized scrap dresser. I started out as a garment and craft sewer as a child over 50 years ago and have several patterns I'd love to work with. I made almost all of my maternity tops in the 80s, my daughter's First Holy Communion dress, her flower girl dress for her aunts's wedding, Halloween costumes for her and her brother as well as their flannel pajamas when they were infants; not to mention a red, satiny Christmas dress for the daughter when she was 3 months old and much more! Fast forward to quilting in the mid 90s and leaving garment sewing behind. I want to do it all 😂😂😂 And you keep showing us cool stuff ❤

This is really beautiful! Two hints… for the sleeves… the top of the sleeve with one notch is always the front and the 2 notches are the back. And, for the first line of stitching in the sleeve, you can make the first round 1/2” (which is one eighth of and inch) and the other 5/8”. Thank you for sharing your process!

I’m in the process of redoing my sewing room and I already have so many designs for quilt tops but somewhere in there I’ve got to make me a quilted coat! I want mine to be a Spring / Fall jacket kinda like an in between coat you know? I can’t wait to get started 🥰 I just got done decorating my new Janome HD9 straight stitch machine like your Juki.

Love this project and your coat is great. I’ve done a jacket using a hooded sweatshirt w zipper front closure. I opened out the seams, added on patchwork (bergello strips centered on sleeves, centered on the back, and centered on the front either side of the zipper). I did minimal quilting in the ditch, sewed seams back together and done. Wore it for years. It’s kinda tired now but I have another sweatshirt jacket to make a “new” one. ❤️❤️

@suziehemmer6116 8 месяцев назад

When reducing the arm hole seam down from 5/8 to 1/2 inch. You are in the process of reducing bulk around the arm hole so that it will lay nicer. If you didn't do that. You would have had to trim then clip the fabric. Garments made in a factory are commonly sewn with 1/4 to 1/2 seam allowance. Due to overlock (serger) stitching goes around the unfinished edge. Back in 1974. I worked in a factory where we put together PJ's for JCPenney. All seam allowances that I was required to sew were no more than 1/4 inch. I used overlock machines and all the other machines in the building.

@debcobb9739 8 месяцев назад

It's beautiful...I made a similar coat years ago and it shrunk when I quilted it and I had to add some length to the sleeves. It may be big now but when you wear a thick sweater it will be the best fit. Great job. 5/8 inch allows you to have less chance of the seam pulling apart when you wear a garment.
