Quilted coats and jackets are everywhere right now—and for good reason. They combine the creativity of quilting with the practicality of garment sewing and give makers an opportunity to show off their skills. In this episode, we explore the growing trend of quilted outerwear and what makes these garments so appealing to makers. From classic quilt jackets to modern oversized coats, quilted garments offer endless possibilities for using favorite fabrics, experimenting with patchwork, and even repurposing quilts or scraps. Whether you’re a quilter curious about garment sewing or a sewist looking for your next outerwear project, this episode will inspire you to create a quilted coat of your very own.
