- Can a quilt be made into a coat or jacket? Yah, you betcha! In this demonstration video I show you how I transformed a thrift store quilt into a beautiful jacket by using an existing coat as a pattern. I also explain tips and tricks of upcycling clothing, repurposing quilts and reusing fabrics. Journey with me as I problem solve and discover a secret hidden treasure in the quilt I upcycle. Explore ways to adapt sewing patterns and work through making mistakes while upcycling a sewing project. Discover some of my favorite sewing, quilting and upcycling tools. My biggest hope is that you will have fun while being inspired to do your own creating.

And it’s double delight when you and your daughter are together !
Nora is a pure delight! She looks adorable in the coat.
Your daughter is SO beautiful! And lucky to have you as her Mom. And the coat is gorgeous too!
Awh, thank you. Nora is pretty amazing. Thanks for watching!
Very creative! I worked in a fabric store during the early '70s. The peak of the "polyester double knit" Era. I cut miles of that stuff . . . I know there are millions of polyester quilts! Love what you did to rescue, reuse and repurpose!
Isn’t it amazing when you can make something that someone else LOVES so much 😍👏👏🇬🇧
Yes, Glynis - Nora sings “Coat of Many Colors” by Dolly Parton when she wears it. 🥰
Never saw polyester look so good. Looks cute on your daughter. Like the hood addition.
Thank you! 🤗
This is a winning project. I love that your daughter requested your piece.
Awh, thanks Beth! I am working on another one right now. The best complement is that my daughter wanted to have it. 😉
Your daughter is beautiful ❤️if my daughter told me she liked something I would give it to her to 🥰❤️👍
You are petite, Angela. Not a dinosaur! Thank you for a great idea and video!
Rawh. 🦖💕
Your daughter and the quilt coat are both adorable. You are very entertaining. Love your channel.
Thanks, Debra! It sure was fun to make.😊
Your coat turned out sew cute. Who would have known that you can turn an ugly quilt into an adorable coat. I love that you used the bedsheet as a lining. We had some sheets very similar to that when I was a kid in the late 1970's or early 1980's. Great job on your up-cycle.
Thanks Romona! I have the cutest Holly Hobby flat sheet from the 70s waiting to be used in a project. I’ll keep you posted!
@@ArtfullySew I will be looking forward to seeing the transformation 😀 I like Holly Hobby.
The pork turned out beautiful, and it looks beautiful on your daughter🥰
Coat of many colors. It's great.
We were singing that song as I made it! Thanks…
It turned out adorable, i luv the inside flower print and the pink❣️
Beautiful, original coat. Your daughter was absolutely darling. Perfect use of something others would overlook
It was so fun to see the look on her face when I gave it to her. So sweet! 🥰
Nora is beautiful and the coat came out great!
Thanks, Denise!
I just love your videos. I have watched them serval times each. You and your daughter are both adorable.
You are so kind. ☺️ Thank you so much for watching. I have a new video coming up in a couple weeks, so stay tuned!❤️
Love the repurposed coat! The two of you are absolutely adorable💕💕
Thank you!! 😊
Wow. You took something kinda “not pretty” and turned it into something spectacular! It’s a coat of many colors!!!❤
Yep! And Nora can say, "that my momma made for me"🎶 Thanks for watching!
Wow it’s adorable! So are you and Nora! I’ve got to go thrifting! $1 how cool is that!😊
You are absolutely hilarious! AND who would have thought that coat would turn out so darned cute! You are going to be a utube sensation! Guaranteed!
Its perfect on her...your precious and so creative.
This coat is adorable...I'm inspired to try one now.
Ooh! I hope you do. ☺️ Thanks for watching.
In the 80's many quilters, like myself, made ugly quilts for the homeless. We used simple designs and polyester fabric because we wanted the quilts to hold up and not be sold. Many times a quilt like the one you found would provide shelter, warmth and in the eye of the beholder, care.
Polyester is so durable! I use the word "ugly" but I do find them beautiful too. How wonderful that you gave to those in need, I'm sure the recipient was so thankful. I wish the quilt could talk so we could know it's journey!
Thx for not using a quilt with historical value.
Your coat came out so cute & it looks great on your daughter - lucky girl!!
Btw, I love big cats & their coat patterns, so I liked the “pattern” coat, too, just for that reason.
Thx for sharing w/ us. You & your content have a fun style!
Thank you so much!💕
Binge watching ❤❤❤
Great fun, how lovely to make something your children appreciate. It might also have looked good with the squares on diagonal and the jacket totally reversible.
Ooh! Reversible. Great idea for the next coat. ☺️
Great video! You're very funny and entertaining ... even though I wanted to see how you transformed the jacket it was you and your delightful studio (with dog and bird) that kept me watching! By the way the jacket turned out well too!
Thanks for the positive feedback, so glad you enjoyed it. I sure love making both the projects and the videos. 🥰
That turned out so cute
I really like it. Your daughter has some good modelling skills L)
Thank you very much!
I love that feline coat ❤️❤️
Hope you didn’t feel too sad about me cutting it up to sacrifice to the upcycling gods. 😁
I’m new here and I have to tell you that you made my stress release and my heart feel glad! I’ve sewn a very long time and I like how you think. I’m going to hurry to another of your shows now.
Awh, Debra! I feel like I made a new friend with you. Thanks for watching. 😁
Just came across your channel and I had to say both Nora and the jacket are beautiful.
Where I live it's a dead zone for crafts. I knit then a few years ago started teaching myself quilting. I phoned a children's hospital and offered to send them some items, to be told sorry can't take them the same with our local hospital and homeless shelter. It's nothing to do with covid. I live in a small country
of the far western corner of Europe.
Wow, Janet. I’m not sure how it works in Europe, but there is an organization in the states called Project Linus that makes quilts for those in need. If not available in your area, maybe you could start something similar? Good luck and just keep sewing! www.projectlinus.org/
It turned out so cute!
You are a delight !
I had serious doubts about how it was gonna come together but it’s beautiful!
Thank you so much! I do really love it.
Beautiful! And the coats okay too! How do you not have thousands of subs?
Ha! You are so sweet. 💕 My channel isn’t very old, so working on getting to thousands. Thanks so much for watching and feel free to share so more can follow. 😘
New subscriber. I just stumbled upon your channel. I love your projects! You are a ray of sunshine. What an adorable jacket. Your daughter is adorable too!
Awh, thank you Piper. Encouraging words indeed.
Just love your approach to sewing ✂️✂️new subscriber from Australia who loves all things patchwork and fun in sewing @Tillymint recycled

Rawr! 🦖
Love this video
This is awesome 👏🏽
Love it
You are so cute! I love your videos. You make me smile and I always want to watch more. More, please! More, more, more! I did not believe you could make something cute out of that quilt, but, wow! I would love to see how you made, is it, Mrs. Woodwire? ❤. Where’s that bell???
I’m going to try to get a video of Mrs Woodwire soon! Thanks for the encouragement, so appreciated and makes me want to do more. 💕💕💕
Good job.
Thanks!
My mom made a gazillion of those quilts. They were her favorite to make - so much so, that when she passed a few years ago at the age of 100, I placed her favorite one on her so she would be cozy. I hope you remade the original jacket you used for the pattern to fit you. The quilted jacket turned out really cute and looks really good on your daughter.
That is such a sweet story about your mom. 💕 I hope Nora does the same for me when I pass. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! Love ❤
Wow, really awesome video. I had no idea you were a TH-camr. Awesome editing!
Thanks Bob! It’s a kinda new thing for me, just started in February. The videos help me get project done and I really enjoy the editing process. 😁 Keep watching!
Aww...that came out super cute!
Thanks, Diana! I was happily surprised at how well it turned out. 😀
Just had to pause your video at 5:19 because you crack me me up with the “right side”” problem. I TOTALLY understand, I have the very same issue, ok back to the video…

Awesome coat. And I love the pattern you put together. I WILL be making myself one of these
Thanks, Bea. Let me know how yours turns out!
Great video-keep ‘em coming!
Thanks for the encouragement - they are so fun to make!
Please do a Ms Woodwire tutorial if you have time,
Yes, that one is in the works. I’ll keep you posted!
❤
Besides the music we see you playing and singing, do you use any of your own music in your narrative?
I do dabble in writing my own music, but haven't been brave enough to use it in my videos too much. My daughter wrote the piano music in my first ever video, th-cam.com/video/qHjKZO_zslA/w-d-xo.html.
😀
I’m sorry, that quilt was destined to be a dog blanket in my view. The jacket was gorgeous cougar wear. You are a recycling Angel to take that challenged quilt on….can’t fault you on the scissors, I have identical ones that I hide away too for identical reasons. The jacket was a triumph, the red binding and buttons inspired.
Thank you, Amanda! Wow, cougar wear. ❤️
It’s so many distractions in the beginning and I like videos where people get straight to the point.
Then you probably won't like my videos. I'm a very distracted person. 😂
