I like how even though you played around and did a lot of freestyle work, it all came together beautifully because you took the time to cut and apply the binding carefully, with good technique. The devil is in the details! I just finished a jacket using fusible cotton batting, it made the quilting so much easier. But on my next one i will use your idea and try using cotton fleece but i will spray on temporary adhesive to make it easier to control the stretchy fleece when i quilt. The cotton will make the jacket more drapey and soft than when using batting. Thank you for your good demonstration!

[@danahunt9995]

Hello, I like the way you teach. I am a beginner. I am amused by things you can make yourself. You have no problem repeating and explaining.

[@Suzanka-d7y]

I love the cheater fabric one also! I am thinking of making it Amish with a dark navy background!

[@marshalucky]

It's so much like mine🎉. Beautiful ❤️ love the orange/red jacket.

[@rissarose781]

What an amazing teacher you are! I loved the video. Making a quilted jacket is my sewing dream so I will definitely make this one. Thank you :)

[@kathyvetter663]

Thank you, this will be an enjoyable project! 😊

[@judylackey5949]

I made this quilted jacket this fall. It still hasn’t gotten cold enough to wear yet. I suggest 2 sizes larger. I had to add side panels. From the bottom of the sleeves all the way to the bottom of the jacket. But it works. No one can tell my alterations. I’m about to make another soon

[@tbatori99]

Your tip about using 1.75" binding is brilliant! Can't wait to try it.

[@laundrybasketquilts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Creative-Chaos]

This is a fun idea! I haven't done one yet, but I will.

[@julieenslow5915]

18 months after you posted this video, this jacket still is in perfect style! It's going to the top of my list for this year, though for me, living in Florida, it will be a winter jacket! Love love love it!

[@SStroud2024]

Dear Edyta, THANK YOU for sharing this beautiful jacket construction and designs! So very, very inspirational. I must make this jacket! You are a really powerful inspiration!

[@guadalupeblakey9926]

Beautiful, I'm glad I took the time. Will have to start this jacket. Hope to finish it by October, we have Punkin Capital of the world here in our home Town. I'm thinking I should do one in pumpkins to honor our Pumpkin Growers. Thanks , love the jacket.

[@parlenewhitfield9383]

Gorgeous jacket and thanks for sharing - I have put this on my list. Thank you

[@jacquelineshewring503]

I am in the middle of sewing squares together to make a kimono style jacket but I like your style jacket more made with the sweatshirt batting. Thank you for the video. I have subscribed and will be looking forward to more of your videos.

[@soniaadams3559]

Love your video Beautiful jackets Thank you for sharing this with us Blessings to Everyone ❤🙏

[@inezmobley6953]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! I just got my pattern yesterday and I’m really looking forward to making my first jacket.

[@marlahanks7278]

Oh my gosh!! So cute & a great idea for orphan blocks 😊 The cheater fabric-love it!! I have a shower curtain I got years ago at a thrift sale that is pieced & has a lining. I used it a few times, but decided to maybe cut it up for pillows, etc. Now I know what I'm going to use it for!!!

[@bernicelycklama7619]

I was listening to your channel and wow!!! This is exactly what my friend is in need of. I just called her. I recommended she look at how wonderfully you have made this jacket. Thank you.

[@annasawinska9719]

Edyta, bardzo pięknie pokazałaś jak zrobić patchworkową kurtkę. Dziękuję. Szyję dużo patchworków, a ubrań uszyłam dopiero kilkanaście. Wykorzystam Twoją wiedzę do szycia następnych. Pozdrawiam Cię z Polski.

[@gmtegirl]

Amazing video. Thank you. My daughter just asked for a quilted jacket and I honestly did not know where to start!

[@KumaSews]

Adorable! You make the cutest stuff!

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

This is one of the best videos you've ever made! Great job! I love all of your videos and enjoyed meeting you in Paducah Kentucky about seven years ago. You are so inspirational! Thank you for taking the time to share how to make this jacket I look forward to ordering your pattern.

[@roxannetoufexis4487]

Oh, I can hardly say how excited I am to get making a new jacket! This is beautiful. Thank you so much! Love, love, love your designs!

[@norahmcphee4928]

Beautiful jackets Edyta and so designer one off's. I love making something different from the norm and as i am never in fashion anyway, why not. Why walk around as if you are rolling off factory floors all the same, when you can make yourself be unique. I bought in Turkey two leather jackets this shape with beautiful leaves embroidered over it in applique. They were both different and it meant that my mum could have something on that wasn't too young looking as normal leather jackets are, but she looked stunning in it. Thank you flower for sharing your stunning pieces of art with us.

[@springlynnbooth2201]

Oh my your coral jacket is stunning

[@Tagimarat]

Great video! Your enthusiasm is just the best 💗

[@laundrybasketquilts]

Thank you so much for the kind words :D

[@kalpanatapkire4934]

[@willowhilldesigns7]

I made one of these years ago with all neutral uneven log cabins and flying geese. It was so much fun! Will have to make another!

[@joycebibeault1814]

Awesome technique!! Will definitely be making this jacket!! Thanks Joyce

[@joyscranfield5527]

So glad I found your tutorial! I'm planning a jacket & in my mind I was only cutting the side seams & the underarm sleeve seam but leaving the sleeve attached to the body of my sweatshirt! THANK YOU! Beautiful job on your jacket!!

[@Lillyflower-J88]

These jackets look amazing

[@scottydog6539]

Wonderful, Edyta. Your explanation about how to make a quilted jacket from a sweatshirt was superb. Now, I feel confident I could make one also. Big smile!

[@ceciliavasquez5543]

You are so creative. Thank you for share!!

[@calliemaddiecats5457]

Your jackets are gorgeous!

[@teresabrooks2183]

This is such a great idea to use up an old jumper that you no longer wear also... upcycling it!

[@katherinem7835]

That jacket is beautiful 😍

[@cathyellis248]

Beautiful jackets! Must make one of those! Thank you for sharing and showing us how to do it! Big hugs from Sweden.

[@nancyheneghan4760]

Many years ago I made a log cabin jacket but gave it away. Seeing yours I want to make another jacket. Will definitely be getting your pattern!

[@ellaougrik3785]

Loved this video. Thank you

[@HelpMeRhondayeah]

This is super fabulous! I’m gonna make 2! Two daughters both have commented that I should make them. Thank you!

[@margaretkiener9530]

Thank you so much for sharing this "how to" video. I love your work and I love this jacket. So many possibilities.

[@dorothydishman4664]

If you turn the sweatshirt inside out so that the fleecy side becomes the batting, it will be warmer and nicer looking inside & therefore eliminating the lining. Nice directions, thanks.

[@debraanger209]

Honestly you have given me incentive to use some blocks I made for this jacket well done!!

[@26debsterdots]

Amazing !Looks so easy Thank you ! Have an amazing day

[@lindaanderson2072]

Amazingly beautiful ! 🤗💖

[@xxdonna1959xx]

I’m attempting to make my first jacket using your video for guidance, but one thing I’m not too sure about is when and how you surged/zigzaged the edges around the armholes etc😊

[@ellensweat5251]

Really beautiful Edyta. Thank you so much for walking us through this process. I am absolutely going to make one of these.

[@msmith2945]

I am impressed very creative!!!

[@nickibair999]

I was looking and thinking about making a quilted jacket and your steps look so nice and now I am eager of making some for myself and others. Also I love how you did the binding. I like that there isn't much bulk in the corner.

[@renatapires16]

[@floraandthread9883]

OOH such a fun project! Thanks for sharing! Going to look through my orphan block bin now.

[@suzannefaulkner2568]

Great idea, might have to give it a try, would probably add buttons and loops to keep out the breeze

[@mwolkonsky]

That was great!

[@wallyelaine]

I just love your quilted jacket pattern. Thank you for showing us the new red jacket that you made as well. What was the pattern on the red jacket called? I can’t wait to try one for myself. Thank you for always inspiring me to try something new. 🎉😊

[@Kitchensurprise]

I just got my kit today..cannot wait to make this jacket!

[@angiebolton8635]

Fabulous, just what I was looking for. Do the edges of the blocks not fray as they aren't pieced together?

[@debrariley2057]

Fabulous tutorial... thank you.!

[@ediefrasier2932]

Cute jackets!

[@simonecarvallhoartes2614]

Excelente tutorial 👍🧵

[@tykematlack7588]

Those are gorgeous. I want to make some for different seasons and Christmas gifts. Thanks so much!😊

[@chamalismith]

Your excitement joy and enthusiasm are contagious 😀 a quilted jacket has been my dream and your video will really help me get there 😀 thank you xx

[@healthygirl3021]

Great video! I'd love to see this done with a hoodie sweatshirt, instead of a crew one for the quilted jacket. Thank you!

[@brandyberry2304]

Also wondering if anyone has reused the sweatshirt cuffs at the quilt sleeve?
