Tips:
- Pre-quilted fabric is the quickest option and ideal for first-time makers.
- If quilting your own fabric, lighter outer fabrics are easier to manage and create less bulk.
- Choose a contrasting bias binding to highlight the reversible construction.
- Avoid heavily padded quilted fabrics, which can make bias binding and seams difficult to sew.
- You will need 0.5 - 1 yds/mts of contrast fabric for the bias binding.

- Confident Beginner. New sewists will learn new techniques.

Fit notes:

This pattern is so thorough and thoughtful. It's very easy to follow and I love all the unique details of the coat compared to most quilted coats.!

REBECCA

Very nice jacket where you can still make a lot of creative choices yourself.

LAURA

The Madswick patterns are always very thoughtfully drafted and the instructions well laid out. What drew me to this pattern was the hood option and the slightly sporty silhouette achieved by the elasticated back band--it's a nice addition to the quilt coat pattern world <3
