QUILT COAT TUTORIAL | A BIG project in a tiny house! 

Are you going to quilt it or tie it? When you wash them, the batting will fall apart if they aren’t quilted together. You can do it by machine or by hand. But you need to quilt it every few inches. I’ve seen some batting that said 10”, but I would do it every 4-6”. Just a bit of advice from an old quilter. Super cute coats!

I’m not sure of the logistics of it, but I’d have been tempted to make a reversible jacket from the large one

Haven’t finished the video yet, but all those quilts for $15 😲!!! Couldn’t touch one in a thrift store for that price where I’m at. Great haul, sooo many possibilities! 😍

Your coats are absolutely lovely. But as a quilter I thought you should know that you will not be able to wash or dry clean your coats. The batting will separate and shift and ball between the layers. You need to stabilize the batting by one of 2 methods. The little ties or sewing through all three layers. If you don't you might find over time the batting will stretch and distort. Especially if left on a hanger. Just thought you might want to know for future designs.

I love the black trim on the 2nd coat, but I love the length on the first one. Aww heck, they're both splendid! 🤩

I make quilts and I hope many years into the future someone makes a coat like these out of them :)

Ohhhh they both turned out so lovely!! They both have their own look/personality and I'm quite glad you were able to show us!

Love the idea, and both jackets. Second on is my favorite. Suggestion for the future: if you want to take apart a quilt, wash it first. Washing raw edge seams of an older quilt could lead to some of the seams coming apart. This is much less likely if is still together in the form of a quilt, rather than the two pieced sides without batting. Great project. Great job! Thank you for the video.

Both are adorable! So creative and may have to give one a try. Now to hunt for an old quilt.

Love both. Second one is my favourite. I’ve never seen a second hand quilt in an Australian charity shop though. Those things are precious.

Make more videos. I love them. I am a quilter and the fabric from that quilt is 30's prints. They were flour sac reproductions. I got a chuckle with you mentioning Lancaster PA. It is where my friends and I travel and shop at the Amish quilting stores. So Fun. They pronounce it weird. It is almost like you don't here the A vowels.

Woah that second one is amazing! Love it with your whole outfit!

I love them both! But that long time is more what I’m hoping for. Thanks for sharing your process.

Beautiful job! It's almost summer here so I'm making a patchwork dress out of fabric scraps. So obsessed with how quilted coats look!

Just gorgeous! Thanks for showing us how to make it. A great way to repurpose old quilts.

Very cute! You go girl! A quilt jacket is like a warm hug.

Fabulous makes!! So beautiful and gorgeous! Simplicity with that touch of eclectic sense of style. I love both makes!! 🥰🥰🥰

Love both! So cool… funny thing, I just bought a bunch of squares of Japanese themed fabric to make a jacket similar to yours… then I remembered that I have 3 100 year old hand sewn quilt tops! Now I’m set, with your inspiration , to make a few of these gorgeous jackets… thank you so much for sharing your instructions… this will be a fun bunch of projects❤️

I had never seen a quilted jacket! But they're so cute! Thanks for sharing 🤗🤗

Both were pretty!! But I loved the second best!!

Love your glasses! Super stylish. Thanks for the instructions.

I love them both. Thanks for the inspiration.

Please make sure that you actually quilt this coat meaning that you take your sewing machine and so across the quilt squares or diamonds as you prefer, so that it will all stay together. If you don't, when you wash it, the batting will disintegrate. Your work is just beautiful. You did a great job.

I cannot believe you found all those quilts for so little! Quilts can take hundreds of hours to create and even now with them coming back in style for various uses it’s wild that you can just find them in a thrift store. We still (as a society) undervalue craftsmanship so much. Also I hope you were able to throw them in the wash before you laid them on your bed to film because I got really stressed about bed bugs for you from that packed thrift store! These are so beautiful and it seems you could get another whole jacket out of what’s left. Oh, one question! Which quilting foot did you use?

And you took that quilt all apart, cut and re/-sewed the “new” jacket Really-you’re hired-! 😮

A quilted coat would be fabulous! I quilt and I want one!!

Thank you for the beautiful inspiration I loved both and how you put the slits on the sides 💕🙋🏽‍♀️

Both jackets are very, very cute, one of a kind for sure. Thanks for sharing.

I like the way you cut it out. I’ve been noshing on it for weeks, because I wanted to keep the sewing to a minimum and perhaps get the edging that’s already on the blanket/quilt in position so that it becomes the hem/end of pieces. I may use this idea and still break it up into pieces but it’s given me a path. Thank you!

You did an amazing job on both coats!😄

They both turned out great!!

haven't sewn in years going to pick it up again.. this is going to be one of my first projects 🥰

Absolutely amazing! I want one!

Absolutely adorable I love it. Both

Fabulous! I want one! I loved both!!!

Super cute. I like both!!

They are both awesome!!

I’m in love!!!! Great job! So cute

They turned out soooo cute!!

Love the sleeves on the second one !!!

So glad I stumbled across your channel!! Great video, gorgeous work!

beautiful knotted comforter. Beautiful old vintage fabric.

Both are fantastic!

I love quilting but wanted to do something more fun than blankets. I made my daughter a quilt poncho and now have a pattern to make my own coat. Thank you!!!

It’s gorgeous! Am on the hunt for quilts!

I cannot say which I 💕 more... ohh you have inspired me....huge Town wide garage sale this weekend..I wasn't going to go... but now I'm on hunt for a quilt to make a jacket from!!!

Love both of them!!

Love ‘em both. However, if I have to pick one, I pick the very first one you made. I love the colors. You did a great job. Thanks so much for sharing!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have a suggestion for the French type vintage fabric, you can make a coat and use that fabric as a liner, it’ll look so elegant. By the way both coats are gorgeous. I am a quilter and will try doing this myself, thanks for the inspiration.

I love the large cuffs on both and the split hems. Very nice! Not sure I could ever cut up one of my quilts though. Thrift stores here I come!

Wow, nice work ma'am! I didn't know I wanted to make a quilt coat until I came upon your video. I'd love to make a Kung Fu jacket from an old quilt I've been carrying around for a few years now.

Both are amazing !!!

That’s totally amazing. I’m going to try it

Loved this 🥰👌😍

This coat is SO dope!!!!!

Beautiful, great job!

Amazing job on both,. but the second one is stunning on you. Nice projects.

Wow you did an awesome job I like the first one better because I like the sleeve on it but the second one looks just as nice beautiful job❣️🪡🧵✂️💗💓💕❤️

I bet these would be great for outdoor use especially camping in the winter. I've seen people use the old surplus military blankets and turn those into jackets for the outdoors too.

I’m so glad I found this video! Thanks for sharing

They both turned out so pretty!! 💕✨ My favorite would be the second one 💕

Fantastic DIY inspiration. BODE also has a line of upcycled quilt garments.

Don’t you think not having the money to buy someone else’s coat is more fun? I do! Thrifting, imagination much more fun!

That is a walking foot. You must stitch (quilt) the top of the coat because the batting will fall apart. Nice quilt find.

well done - these are beautiful.

LOVE THEM BOTH. BUT THE ONE WITH THE BLACK BINDING IS SO RICH. GREAT JOB

Loved it!

I just love it’s 💖💖💖💖💖💖

Thanks for the inspiration!! Great job on both!

Beautiful!!!!!!

Very impressive! Both are darling.

That came out really really nice. Looks really nice on you. I quilt.

Like both very creative. Really pretty. Great job.

Love both.

I really like the short one. I am getting ready to make one upon a request from a friend.

Is there a reasone you didn't quilt the patchwork fabric?

I love both, but the 2nd one a bit more! Great job!

You can make reversible coat by sewing the seams with bias tapes.

Love both

Hey 👋 This quilt coat come up beautifully ❤

Super cute

I like the kimono one best.

Great Coats both are nice.

Pretty!

I really, really like the last one! But both are nice. Now, let's see what you make out of that afghan. LOL

Make a reversible jacket. That would be awesome.

Love your coat! What kind of quilting did you do to hold the layers together & ensure the batting doesn't come apart when it's washed/worn?

My grandma used to take old quilts and cover them w new tops!

You are soooo talented! I love the shorter jacket! I wish you had given us some measurements as a general guideline.

Good morning beautiful crafts video well done 💕

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 would love to be able to have access to these second hand quilts!!!

Love them both but second one I love the length

Very pretty. Well done. Inspiring. Thank you. Sandra B.

They are both gorgeous! What type of batting did you use? A lightweight 80/20? You could sell that pattern!! 😍

Interesting. I've been thinking of doing the same with a couple quilts given to me. I was planning to make both reversible with a simple, but still quilted fabric for the reverse side and trim. I love that this style is perfect for big patch pockets.

Make a reversible jacket or coat from the Tied Quilt. Reversible is really easy to make. Have you thought about washing these quilts before putting time and effort into the new project? I would hand wash in mild shampoo, baby shampoo is good as it's fairly neutral and doesn't foam too much

The quilt you want to separate is a tied quilt and it will be easy for you to separate.

Niceeeee

like the second one
