Hi, I was first a garment sewer and the 5/8 seam is standard there. I’ve been quilting for a decade or two, so now I’m sure I’d find a 5/8 HUGE. but I clearly remember wondering how would I manage a 1/4” seam when this journey began. Nice work on the jacket!

@nataliedrest5679 8 ай бұрын

First a dressmaker, second a quilter so 5/8 seams are normal to me. The sleeve pattern would have had a small triangle for the front of the sleeve and two small triangles for the back, placed so you match the front and back armholes on the coat pattern triangles. That coat pattern would also make an excellent dressing gown... maybe flannel/minky quilted?

@TheSewingChannel 8 ай бұрын

Yes...I totally thought of it in minky❤️

@juliesteinberg2750 8 ай бұрын

Just a hint on the arm holes. There are points/ arrows at the armholes one single arrow and one double arrow. That tells you what side of the sleeve goes to the front. Thank you for the video!

It is so interesting to watch a quilter make clothing. I didn't realise how much stuff is just there in my brain from sewing so many years! All that quilting stuff you know? That's stuff I still have to learn! Shawl collars are my favorite. There's gonna be one on my Christmas dress and another on a vest I'm doing. Armholes - most will have notches, and the single notch is always the front and the double one is the back. Same on every pattern out there, one of those things that hasn't changed in all the history of notches. I love this coat! Well done! Looks really cozy and I love all the color. Great job!

Usually on the bottom of a coat or jacket with a lining you don't sew the lining to the outer coat. After you wash it if you notice it bagging or puckkering at the bottom seperate the and hem seperate. Talk about 5/8" seams! I started out as a garment maker and going to a 1/4" freaked me out!! I thought how will an itty bitty 1/4" hold anything together!!! 50 years later as a seasoned quilter I understand. Tracy your jacket is amazing and so beautiful!!! I just love it. I heard at Quilt Market in Houston this year Quilt Appaeral was EVERYWHERE!! I think a few frogs on that jacket would be beautiful to hold it togather? (saves putting button holes in!

I started off sewing clothing and it was the scraps from those clothing items that turned me on to quilts. So I went from 5/8 inch seams to 1/4 inch seams and I couldn't believe such a tiny seam would hold together. LOL

the hindsight - darker lining comment. i would also suggest you consider a slipperier lining, to help you get your arms into the sleeves. you could leave the flannel as an interlining, and add a smooth cotton, or a satin lining, perhaps darker.

I used to use the cloth sacks in the ‘80’s to make duffle bags so I could take 7 kids’ clothes in 1 car on weekend trips in a “station wagon”. The feed store’s oldest workers said the cloth bags were a bonus for farmers, to make children’s clothes back in the depression era.

@cherylrichards8951 8 ай бұрын

Tracy, I'm not sure where you live but I would try looking at estate sales or farm auctions for old flour sack materials. A lot of people used flour sacks to make dish towels. The ones my mom, grandmother, and aunt used were natural white. My grandmother would then wash them, hang them outside in the sun, then carefully remove the thread used to sew the material into sacks, and kept the thread (perhaps to tie her own quilts).

I love this so much!! I've been wanting to make a quilt coat but didn't want to thumb thru clothes patterns to try to find one I liked. I'm so glad you shared the one you used along with all the tips & tricks 😊😊 I see someone commented they used a sweatshirt as the "lining". I would like to try that as well. I already have a sweatshirt I can use-I bought it years ago to cut up the center front & crochet all the way around the front, neck & bottom. I'd made 2 this way years ago.

I made a robe years ago for my husband and made that mistake! No coming back from that one as there was no more of that fabric! Now im wondering if perhaps your pattern does not have a right and left sleeve and ive made things worst. Certainly not my intention. I truly admire your work and skill it took to make your jacket! Great jib!

When reducing the arm hole seam down from 5/8 to 1/2 inch. You are in the process of reducing bulk around the arm hole so that it will lay nicer. If you didn't do that. You would have had to trim then clip the fabric. Garments made in a factory are commonly sewn with 1/4 to 1/2 seam allowance. Due to overlock (serger) stitching goes around the unfinished edge. Back in 1974. I worked in a factory where we put together PJ's for JCPenney. All seam allowances that I was required to sew were no more than 1/4 inch. I used overlock machines and all the other machines in the building.

I think you have one shoulder lower than the other, this is very common, and that is why one side's hem is lower. This is why it is good to mark hems after the rest of the garment is constructed.

I love how the 5/8" seam shocked you. I've been teaching myself quilting fir the past 2'3 yrs & yup there's a definite difference in garment sewing seamd to quilting seams.

You did a beautiful job making your coat of many colors! Back in 2002, I attended a class, and we made a similar jacket. We used 8 to 10 or so of different designs of cotton fabric that were cut into 3,4, and five inch widths of fabric strips. Then those stripes were cut into shorter ones and then assembled onto a sweatshirt that was taken apart and was used as the pattern and base instead of the quilt batting, then quilted and sewn back together. And like you, I was searching for every little scrap in order to finish the project. Lol Once again, Great job! 👍 Thank you for sharing.

Didn’t use a pattern, I just used a sweatshirt one size larger as my template for my quilt fabric. Cut out the seams on the sides - all the way from wrist to bottom. I also cut off the cuffs & bottom ribbing. Surprise! Sweatshirt was FLAT! Layered strips in a V all over. Used binding to cover edges in a contrasting color for pop. I get lots of compliments!

It's beautiful...I made a similar coat years ago and it shrunk when I quilted it and I had to add some length to the sleeves. It may be big now but when you wear a thick sweater it will be the best fit. Great job. 5/8 inch allows you to have less chance of the seam pulling apart when you wear a garment.

@deboraanstensen6164 4 ай бұрын

I made a very similar coat, but used autumn colors. Everywhere I wear it I get at least 1 complement from a stranger. Rather than quilt my fabric I used my embroidery machine and did small motifs. I quilted it as a normal quilt, rather than line it. I used Hong Kong seam finish, from bias binding. I think the trick is a very simple pattern. We were probably in production of our coats/jackets about the same time. I love yours!
