Jacket From a Quilt

 Hello Readers. I made a jacket from a quilt to match the skirt I made from the quilt last week. I liked the skirt but I thought the skirt needed a matching top. 

Before and after, and after.

It all started with this quilt. I thought it was pretty and would be great for upcycling into clothing. It wasn't hand-made or any family heirloom.

I made a simple skirt and didn't feel like it was great on it's own. I wanted to have a matching top. The quilt would be too thick as a shirt so I made a jacket.

I used the Bog pattern by The Sew and Sew. I already made one jacket using this pattern and I knew it would be a good one for this quilt.

This was the initial version. I sewed this up and realized it was longer than I wanted. The skirt I made would look better with a cropped jacket.

I cut the jacket shorter and added a zipper in the front. 

My new cropped quilt jacket was ready.

A quilted suit? Sure, why not. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.

***Year End Update- These 2 pieces work really well together. The colors are so pretty too. The quilt was a little heavy and stiff so it isn't soft but it is warm.
