17 Inspiring Quilt Jacket Designs

Quilts and quilting are still popular today, contrary to popular belief.

They’re not only popular, but they’re also on the rise!

From quilted purses to trendy quilting bedding, there has never been a finer time to be a quilter.

The quilted jacket is the subject of this piece.

We’ll go over the fundamentals of building one from a quilt jacket pattern before looking at 17 stunning quilted patchwork jacket designs.

Is It Hard to Make a Quilt Coat?

A quilted coat’s difficulty is determined by several things.

Have you ever followed a pattern for clothing? Basic pattern markings and clothing-making terminology are recommended. Learning these terminology will make following a quilt coat pattern much easier.

The quilt design you choose for your quilt jacket is the second important aspect. Will you opt for a straightforward square patchwork pattern? A more intricate double wedding band design? Maybe a crazy quilt pattern? You must determine this before beginning your quilt jacket project.

Supplies You Need to Make a Quilt Jacket

Quilting a coat blends the lovely art form of quilting with the astounding ability of clothing construction. Let’s have a look at the materials you’ll need to make your own quilted jacket.

Sewing Machine– To construct a lovely quilted jacket, you don’t need an expensive machine with all the “bells and whistles.”
Quilting Cotton Batting– For warmth and durability, I prefer 100 percent cotton.
Muslin– You can use this fabric to construct a mockup of the same name (muslin.) In clothing construction, a muslin is used as a practice piece. This step does not need the creation of quilted sections; it is simply a test of the coat’s design sizing and construction.
Quilting cotton, silk, acetate, or flannel can be used as the lining fabric. If you don’t want to lining the coat, this step is optional.
Thread– A strong polyester thread that can tolerate wear and washing is recommended.
Quilted Jacket Pattern: You can use a quilted jacket pattern or a conventional pattern to make a quilted jacket. To make a one-of-a-kind coat, use quilted pieces instead of solid pieces of fabric.
For the coat’s closures, you’ll need zippers, buttons, velcro, or other forms of notions. You’ll find instructions on which notions you’ll need in the pattern you choose.
