Hey Guys! This week I did the BEST Thrift Flip, and I made a reversible jacket out of a quilt that I found from Goodwill. I used french seams and will show you how to do everything so you can make your own quilted reversible jacket.

Elena you are a really good, the jacket looks beautiful.

Wow, thank you so much. I really appreciate it ☺️

I'm going to use the French seem on the jacket I'm working on. Thanks for the clear tutoral.

[@ElenaMarieSewing]

Glad this was helpful 😊

Nice recycle idea! I have used French seams to make reversible smock-aprons out of a single layer of double-sided fabric (gingham check on one side and polka dot on the other.)

[@ElenaMarieSewing]

That's a great idea!

[@LisaH2472]

Flat-felled seams would eliminate a lot of the bulk. (That is the type of seam you often see on jeans where there are two parallel lines of stitching and you don't see raw edges on either side of the garment - just an FYI for anyone who doesn't know what those are.) Nice work overall though. :)

Totally true! I wish I had known about flat felled seams when I made this video or else it would have been a much better option

[@lindawhite5006]

I would've never thought of this. Great idea and it is beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so so much!

Maybe clipping back the batting would make French seams less bulky. I will try this. Thanks for mentioning your impression of the seam during your process.

[@ElenaMarieSewing]

Totally! I’ve done French seams a few more times since this project and have learned a lot

[@joygoncalves4917]

This is Beautiful.

[@ElenaMarieSewing]

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

I really like what you did, its very cute. I made a repurposed quilt jacket for my daughter that turned out really well. Now, my niece wants one too but wants it reversible. I am researching all tutorials that I can find online.

[@ElenaMarieSewing]

Thank you! It’s the best hack ever 😊

[@joygoncalves4917]

Like the way you did the neckline. The Jacket is Beautiful

[@ElenaMarieSewing]

Thanks so much 💕

[@leolion3942]

One way to avoid the bulk would be to cut a sliver of the inside padding on both sides of the seam which would leave two thin layers of plain fabric to do the french seam

[@ElenaMarieSewing]

Oh my goodness, such a great idea! Next time I do this I will definitely implement this!

[@joygoncalves4917]

LOVE this idea.

[@RolindaStottsRS]

Great idea to make it reversible. 🤩🤩

[@ElenaMarieSewing]

Thank you!

[@inmyexperience1201]

Beautiful and clean it is.But I saw the video again and again but I think u missed showin hemline and front open seam.🤔🙁

[@ElenaMarieSewing]

Thank you! I used the finished quilt edge for the front opening and bottom hem so I saved some time from having to do it myself!

[@Lennygarza2009]
