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!
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.
Yes, secure those layers together. The batting you purchased should have instructions as to how closely together the batting must be stitched/tied. Beautiful coat, great design, enjoyable video! I liked the second one best because of the black binding. It really anchors the many colors of the quilt and outlines the wonderful design.
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.
Yes, I agree with those who say to secure your batting in some way. How much it needs secured depends on the batting. I have a quilt I made about 35 years ago which I did minimal quilting and tying on which has held up just fine. The original batting is probably indicative of the age of the quilt. My grandmother's quilts were made with a fine cotton batting, which does break down over time; at least, all of hers show similar condition like that. Those quilts of hers I am going by are all 50-80 years old. So anything with a batting like that is probably going to have the batting fall apart when you cut through it.
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! 😍
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 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!
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.
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?
I find quilts for $2.50 at a textile waste warehouse. If they are antique or in good condition I try and resell it as is, but if they are not antique or anything special ( some are machine made or mass produced) and they are damaged I will use them for crafting.
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!!!
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 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!!!
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.
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 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?❤❤❤
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!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
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

Exactly what i was thinking 🙂
Like the colors on second one. Both great.
I need both!
I’m not sure of the logistics of it, but I’d have been tempted to make a reversible jacket from the large one

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 :)
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.
Both jackets are very, very cute, one of a kind for sure. Thanks for sharing.
I love them both! But that long time is more what I’m hoping for. Thanks for sharing your process.
And you took that quilt all apart, cut and re/-sewed the “new” jacket
Really-you’re hired-! 😮
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! 😍
Exactly what I thought. Where in the world did she find them?!
Both were pretty!! But I loved the second best!!
A quilted coat would be fabulous! I quilt and I want one!!
Both are adorable! So creative and may have to give one a try. Now to hunt for an old quilt.
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!
Love your glasses! Super stylish. Thanks for the instructions.

Woah that second one is amazing! Love it with your whole outfit!
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 both. Second one is my favourite. I’ve never seen a second hand quilt in an Australian charity shop though. Those things are precious.
LOVE THEM BOTH. BUT THE ONE WITH THE BLACK BINDING IS SO RICH. GREAT JOB
Thank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial. I like the second better.
It’s gorgeous! Am on the hunt for quilts!
haven't sewn in years going to pick it up again.. this is going to be one of my first projects 🥰
Both turned our fabulously😊
Super cute. I like both!!

@@RoxieRHeartWhere are these shops? I've never heard of textile waste thrift shops, which state in USA?
@@RoxieRHeartThat's wonderful but where do you find a place like that. Never heard of them.
Love the sleeves on the second one !!!
Fantastic DIY inspiration. BODE also has a line of upcycled quilt garments.
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!!!
You did an amazing job on both coats!😄
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.
They are both awesome!!
beautiful knotted comforter. Beautiful old vintage fabric.
Fabulous! I want one! I loved both!!!
I love them both. Thanks for the inspiration.
They both turned out great!!
Fabulous makes!! So beautiful and gorgeous! Simplicity with that touch of eclectic sense of style. I love both makes!! 🥰🥰🥰
That is a walking foot. You must stitch (quilt) the top of the coat because the batting will fall apart. Nice quilt find.
I had never seen a quilted jacket! But they're so cute! Thanks for sharing 🤗🤗
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!!!

Thanks for the inspiration!! Great job on both!
I actually love the jacket you’re wearing at the first of the video.
They turned out soooo cute!!
Thank you for the beautiful inspiration I loved both and how you put the slits on the sides 💕🙋🏽♀️
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!
Absolutely adorable
I love it. Both
Both are fantastic!

I love both, very talented
I really like the short one. I am getting ready to make one upon a request from a friend.
Love both of them!!
Amazing job on both,. but the second one is stunning on you. Nice projects.
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!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely amazing! I want one!
Both are amazing !!!
You are soooo talented! I love the shorter jacket! I wish you had given us some measurements as a general guideline.
I’m so glad I found this video! Thanks for sharing
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.
They both turned out so pretty!! 💕✨ My favorite would be the second one 💕
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?
Very impressive! Both are darling.
Beautiful, great job!
Like both very creative. Really pretty. Great job.
Is there a reasone you didn't quilt the patchwork fabric?
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.
I love both, but the 2nd one a bit more! Great job!
So glad I stumbled across your channel!! Great video, gorgeous work!
You can make reversible coat by sewing the seams with bias tapes.
That came out really really nice. Looks really nice on you. I quilt.
well done - these are beautiful.
Loved this 🥰👌😍
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 would love to be able to have access to these second hand quilts!!!
This coat is SO dope!!!!!
My grandma used to take old quilts and cover them w new tops!
I really, really like the last one! But both are nice. Now, let's see what you make out of that afghan. LOL
I like the kimono one best.
Good morning beautiful crafts video well done 💕
What pattern did you use? Or did you draft it yourself? So cute! The second one is my favorite 😍
She's not answering her comments. Not good.
That’s totally amazing. I’m going to try it
They are both gorgeous! What type of batting did you use? A lightweight 80/20? You could sell that pattern!! 😍
So cute!!!! What are the length n width of the sleeve on the second coat? Just what I was looking for! Thank you!!

Great Coats both are nice.
I just love it’s 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Beautiful!!!!!!
The quilt you want to separate is a tied quilt and it will be easy for you to separate.
Make a reversible jacket. That would be awesome.
That's gorgeous!!! Too bad there's no way to thrift quilts so cheaply in Europe. Well done!
I made one similar without batting since I am in Florida~
Super cute
Loved it!
