#thesewingchannel - Jak na to + styl
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!
Girl, I am with you on this one! Exactly what I was thinking when she talked about seam allowances🤣
YES YES SAME LOL
I love your videos!! You are so down to earth & honest. When you use the 505 spray, does it fly all over, I saw you spraying near your cutting mat & wondered…
Same! 30ish years ago used my first 1/4 inch seam and it made my head hurt (after 20÷ years of garment sewing) 😂
I’m laughing at the 5/8th inch seam! It’s a standard in the garment industry.
I too had trouble sewing a 1/4 inch seam when I started making quilts!
My mother said she remembered going to the feed store with my Grandfather when she was a little girl. She and her siblings would take turns going with him so they could pick out their favorite fabric on the sacks.
I remember the feed sacks. My dad had horses. I made a quilted jacket in a class. We even made our own shoulder pads to go in it. Yours turned out beautiful.. always enjoy your channel. Great job❤❤❤
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!
Ps I made a coat years ago and used corduroy and flannel. It was so warm but clung to my clothes. It was still worth it.
Thanks for the tip Julie❤️
Thanks, very helpful for the new garment sewists😊
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?
Yes...I totally thought of it in minky❤️
Nice coat, one side is longer in front so the bottom seam will match when you cross it over the other side. Sewed clothes for family before I started quilting
Thanks. I hadn't heard of that before! We quilters are always squaring up things. 😊
It’s gorgeous. My mom if she was living would be102 and she used to wear feed sacks clothes They would pay 50 cents more for the pretty feed sacks. She’d be so happy to have a new dress made from a beautiful feed sack
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!
When I was a kid the first thing I made for 4-H was a jumper out of feed sacks. my mom had saved them for years. she said it would be the perfect thing to make a jumper out of for 4-H. I received an honorable mention.
Wow...way to go❣️🎉
Tracey - what a FUN project!! You'll enjoy wearing your new coat and you can be sure there'll be lots of compliments coming your way. Thank you for sharing.
Tracey, straight line quilting is fine for most of your coat, but please do someting special on the collar. You worked so hard figuring it out, think your rose design would be extra nice there! Love your coat! I truly admire you for making it😊😊❤😊😊
I'll have to try that on my next cut✅
It's gorgeous,and I'm so happy you made one without cutting up an old quilt , it always makes me a bit sad when someone cuts an old one up .
I just realized you made a Dolly Parton Coat of Many Colors! Great job!
I came from a garment sewing background, but have sewn quilts almost exclusively for about 15 years. I recently made a costume, and, oh boy! Taking that 5/8" seam allowance was such a challenge! 😂 Really like my 1/4" seams and hope I don't need to make another garment anytime soon!!.BTW, my costume is a green patchwork vest with a peplum using about 50 different green fabrics!
It is darling! Reminds me of Dolly Parton's song about her mother making her a "coat of many colors"😊
Awe..❤️
Wow, for not being a sewist that does clothing, you did an excellent job!! It is beautiful!!
IT'S BEAUTIFUL !!!!! what a great coat Tracey, you did so well to work that one out, i'm sure you have inspired a lot of quilters to make their own versions now. Thank you for sharing your journey with us xx
I love your commentary and the realistic issues you ran into! We all make mistakes and have to adjust and run into the every little piece of fabric is important. Thank you for the entertainment.
I like the 5/8 for garment because if you gain a little you can let out those seams 😊
Oh my stars. You did an amazing job. Now you have a $1000 coat. At least, when you figure the fabric and the feed sacks and all of the time invested. You’re right that shawl collar is beautiful. I can’t read patterns either. I always just wing it. I can’t even follow simple quilt patterns. It’s one of the reasons I value you so much. I can always get inspiration from one of your videos to get myself out of a jam.
You got that right Destry.....maybe more than a grand....haha🤣
@@TheSewingChannel it absolutely looks worth more than a grand.
You are a ROCK STAR !!! Amazing, stunning and so beautiful !!!! Thank you
This is absolutely a GREAT tutorial! Both visually & audibly! For me, I need to SEE & HEAR. The detail is great! Nicely done. I did a quilted coat a few years ago. 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! THANK YOU for the time & effort to instruct us yokels! 😂
Thank you...I have seen a lot of people make them with the sweatshirts. Yours sounds lovely❤️
I’ve thought about making another. Leave the cuffs & bottom, add a zipper = BOMBER JACKET!
I want to try this so bad!!
I love the quilt coat! I sewed my kids' clothes so I am used to 5/8" seams. I bought a denim coat that an elderly sitter made. It was patchwork with raw frayed seams on the outside. It was all from recycled jeans. I still have it and I love it. I could probably use that pattern and remake it. Thanks
Tracy, I love the coat but that's a lot of work. You look fabulous in it darlin'
Thank you so much! and YES....so much work...but I didn't really know what I was doing...now that I know..I could totally be more efficient LOL🤣
Your quilt coat is just STUNNING.
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
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).
OMG! You have conquered what I have always wanted to make! I have a jacket pattern just waiting on me to put it together but I get stuck on the quilt design but I see you just went for it and it’s beautiful!!! Congratulations 🎉 I have a quilted lining fabric I want to use bc I’m afraid the flannel will be too clingy to the clothes on my back 😁 I’m your ride and die fan and I will share it on my FB page. I’m in the process of redoing my sewing room and I already have so many designs for quilt tops but somewhere in there I’ve got to make me a quilted coat! I want mine to be a Spring / Fall jacket kinda like an in between coat you know? I can’t wait to get started 🥰 I just got done decorating my new Janome HD9 straight stitch machine like your Juki. I hope to tune in one day and see you sewing a quilt block to a sweatshirt 🥰 that’s my next garment project. Great job! I know you’ll receive loads of compliments 😉 Those feedsack prints look lovely on that coat!
Thank you so much for sharing the video Deborah❤️ YOU can totally do this too!!!!
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.
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 think it's stunning! You have inspired me to make one for myself.
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.
1 notch is the front of the sleeve, and 2 notches are at the back. It is important to cut them out and match the sleeve to the armhole. Nice topstitching around the armhole. Your coat turned out beautiful.
Thanks for the tips!
Most patterns call for a 5/8 seam allowance. This is beautiful, but seems like a whole lot of work!!! But I love your end result for sure❤❤❤❤
As someone who used, 💙loved, and mourned granny's feed sack quilts after they died. 😢 I decided to to wash her other feed sack hand sewn items more carefully, so they would last. Thanks for showing how they must have looked back then, and revealing a lot of the thought process used, such as saving fabric.
Wow what a great job you have done. I have always wanted to make one but just couldn’t use a quilt I have already spend so much time making. I also cannot understand reading a pattern that isn’t a quilt. It’s very frustrating glad I’m not alone. I now have a video to fall back on to make one thank you so much.
Beautiful coat - beautiful job! Id like to help others when making your coat to remember to flip sleeve pattern piece over so that you have a right arm and a left arm. 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!
I have been wanting to make a jacket from a quilt.. it is on my bucket list but haven't found quilt. I am primarily a garment sewer and quilt some. I love this idea because I can combine sewing a garment and quilting !! Thanks for sharing your journey. I think is this going to be my winter project.. I have tons of cotton scraps and don't know why because I am not a quilter ! 😃😃
The solid of the collar and cuffs gave the eye a place to rest. That is why you no longer saw a "clown" coat when it was done. I enjoy all of my quilted clothing. Thank you for sharing. I hope many people will try it.
Good point! Thanks for mentioning Deb❤️
You did a great job and the tutorial was well presented.
You did it again! I really do need to make myself a scrap wall of fame....or at least create an organized scrap dresser. I started out as a garment and craft sewer as a child over 50 years ago and have several patterns I'd love to work with. I made almost all of my maternity tops in the 80s, my daughter's First Holy Communion dress, her flower girl dress for her aunts's wedding, Halloween costumes for her and her brother as well as their flannel pajamas when they were infants; not to mention a red, satiny Christmas dress for the daughter when she was 3 months old and much more! Fast forward to quilting in the mid 90s and leaving garment sewing behind. I want to do it all 😂😂😂 And you keep showing us cool stuff ❤
I want to do it all too LOL🤣
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.
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.
Gorgeous coat Tracy! Never miss a tutorial no matter what the subject. Also I shared on Facebook
You're the best!!! Thank you for sharing it on FB❤️
Great quilt coat! I love it.
LOVE your quilt coat!!!
I’m the same with sewing patterns, I don’t get them, but you made me laugh when you said it’s all Greek to me. I wish! I’m Greek so that would have been ok for me, I really don’t get the instructions, I bought one sewing pattern in the past, couldn’t figure it out and it’s been in my drawer ever since . Love your quilt jacket , so clever! ❤
LOL🤣
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.
Just beautiful! You are fearless!
Looks very comfy and cozy! Good job.
Love this!
This coat turned out so cute. And looks really warm. Thanks for sharing the process along the way.
Love it!
Omg I love it. Great another project on my list!!
Love it!!
Hi! Just watched your Short about mini quilting lines and I love it! I am quilting
on larger squares but I will use this idea. I am at the “I just need to get this done” stage. I enjoy all your tutorials and your upbeat attitude, Thank you.
Once it was all together it was pretty cool. A great adventure in sewing!
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful coat. I love it.
Wow it’s so. Colorful. Almost whimsical. I like it.
Gorgeous! I loved it so much!
BEAUTIFUL !
I love it 💖 so pretty. You did a fantastic job!!!
I love your coat. You did a beautiful job.
That is really a pretty coat! I hope you enjoy it a lot! And I bet you are entering into a contest. Like the fair!
Thank you Pam. No I hadn't thought of entering it anywhere🤷🏻♀️
The 5/8” seam allows for slight fitting adjustments so that you don’t have to necessarily recut a whole new garment. That’s what my grandmother told me when she taught me to sew. Your coat is absolutely lovely!❤️
OMG! U R soon cute! I just LOVE your Vintage Quilted Coat. I've been a garment sewist fir over 50 yrs & I commend your SYCCESS on making your quilted coat. I had my hand on that very coat pattern. It ez enough but I'm not a fan of that dropped shoulder style. Having taught myself everything in sewing- I spoiled to the look of the ver fitted ' set in sleeve'. 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. Hats off or should I say COATS ON to you! Bravo! Great job! Sincerely, Melissa/ MamaLiss in NJ Did I talk enough? LOL
Thank you for all of the kind words Melissa❤️
You are amazing!! And your coat is too!!! I love it!!!
Tracy, this coat turned out GREAT!! Good for you 🎉
I love your coat and you did a great job making it. Thank you for sharing
This is really beautiful! Two hints… for the sleeves… the top of the sleeve with one notch is always the front and the 2 notches are the back. And, for the first line of stitching in the sleeve, you can make the first round 1/2” (which is one eighth of and inch) and the other 5/8”. Thank you for sharing your process!
I thought about making one, my plan is to actually make a quilt top or sections of of mini quilt tops so a pattern would show. Like a wedding ring or Irish chain, etc…or piece orphan blocks…this was so inspiring. Thank you for showing us your ins and outs of your coat pattern! Great tutorial.
That's a great idea!
If you had a particular design. Consider seeing how the front, back sides meet before you cut. Might want to match as you would plaids.
That is awesome. I love that coat.
Love the coat!!!
I love this. Great job
I love the colors. Very cute
It is beautiful!!!
I love how much you love it!
Love this, well worth the work involved, well done you ❤
It's lovely, thank you so much for sharing ‼️
I'm so with you on the reading patterns. Like a foreign language. I have to read several times to understand what it wants. The colors and prints are great.
I love this. You did a beautiful job and it’s a great tutorial…. I’m new to quilting but have sewn clothing for yrs. You did a great job love it 😊
Love this! I have done both clothes and quilting, and it’s crazy the seam difference. I have been thinking of doing a cape coat, and this inspires me to quilt it! 😂❤
Wow! Very nice. Thanks for showing how it was done
Thanks for sharing! It was well worth the time to put blocks on on point. Enjoy!
Adorable!
Looks great on you. Nice shape and beautiful colors😊
Gorgeous ! ❤
Absolutly amazing! Now you are a garment sewer too!
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!
Oh wow ! Very very cute ! 😊
absolutely gorgeous
5/8 seam allowance is standard in sewing clothes 😊 it's convenient for multiple reasons. It's mainly done to account for fraying. Most standard patterns don't even talk about treating your cut edges with a serger or stitch to stop fraying, so what they do is take a big seam allowance so even if it's fraying a lot, it won't come apart.
You can also use the seam allowance to fold it under and stitch it down or add bias tape to stop fraying.
It's also nice to have a big seam allowance to make small alterations. Need a tiny bit more room to get that tailored look? Change the 5/8 to 4/8 or 3/8 and you don't have to re-cut fabric to get a fitting piece!
But I understand it's a lot of seam allowance 🤭 I always worked with 1cm (3/8 ?) Seam allowance before I started making clothing and using patterns, so it was a big switch 😋
The coat came out gorgeous! It must've been quite the challenge if you're not used to making clothes! Wonderfully done! ❤
Thank you for all the info❣️ I LOVE a good challenge🤣
I remember getting a book from the 1970's called "Sewing with Scraps". The woman made the layout with the pattern pieces with a regular bed sheet. She made her daughter a coat like this but made it with colorful raincoat pieces! She said it was her daughter's favorite coat. Your coat came out super! So glad it did seeing you spent so much time and not to mention the money on those feed sack pieces. Super cute and great job!
Probably the most expensive thing I own now for sure LOL🤣
Thanks very much! I've wanted to make a quilt coat and you have increased my courage!
I swear you never cease to amaze me Miss Tracy. I absolutely love this! So so adorable. I’ve never attempted to make garmets…but I would love to learn. You make it look so easy. 😊 definitely will share this video…anything for The Sewing Channel. have a terrific weekend. 🤗🤗
Thank you so much Debbie. This was a big undertaking for me...so if I can do it...YOU can too haha🤣❤️
The coat is beautiful. I used to make my clothes when in High School. But no coat. I don't think I'll make one now either. 😂 you did an awesome job!! ❤❤❤
Wow! Super great job! It is absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much!❤️
I had an idea while watching this. I think it would look good made with a jelly roll and laying the strips diagonally. You might even try using various widths of strips. Or you might might try putting a one inch solid color between the strips. I guess this woke my imagination up.
That would make an awesome quilt coat🎉
Oh my goodness. I love it! I've wanted to make one for awhile ,but I can't read clothes patterns very well. You did a fantastic job.❤
I have so wanted to do this!!! I've been looking for a pattern with a hood, though. I absolutely love this and want to start tomorrow!!! Unfortunately, it's Christmas time and it will have to wait until I finish my planned gifts. AMAZING JOB!!!
You did a great job! I would have wanted buttons and button holes. If I didn't have so many projects to do I would love to make one!
