Sewing Quilted Patchwork Jackets : Four Approaches, Ten Distinctive Designs, Two Patterns, Paperback by Cumbie, Rae; Emerson, Carrie, ISBN 163981079X, ISBN-13 9781639810796, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Whether using new fabrics or upcycling or repurposing an existing quilt, orphan blocks or fabric scraps, Making Quilted Patchwork Jackets instructs you through each step of the process to handcraft a quilted jacket. You will learn to properly position blocks, add appliqué elements, layer, quilt, and construct piece-by-piece. Authors Rae Cumbie and Carrie Emerson reveal the four different approaches they use: jackets with loose linings and two quilted layers, jackets with the lining quilted into a sandwich for three layers, reversible jackets with two decorative sides and batting in between, and jackets made from already made quilts. For beginners to wearable quilting, the authors provide an overview of basic garment construction, fabric selection, piecing and placement, liners, hem length, and finishing details including collars, cuffs, and pockets. Two basic multi-size patterns are available--adult and child--with multiple length options. Intermediate and advanced quilters can modify the projects to suit their level of expertise, finding inspiration from the gallery of quilted jacket photographs.
