I just uploaded a new video with a little tutorial starting around 14 minutes in. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lYx2sNubf7PRoco.htmlsi=r4lM9gxFWXlfq8FZ

It would help us beginners if we could actually see you working on the seams of the jacket and how you put it together.

Yeah, I’ve had a few people ask for that. I’ve got it on my list.

I'm actually making my first quilted jacket too! The pattern I'm using didn't bias the seams on the outside of the jacket, but I decided to change it up and try binding the seams like yours. Initially, it felt like the seams were too bulky and couldn't get them to lay right. Do you have any tips for flattening the seams like yours? I ended up going with a faux bias binding by sewing right sides together, making a .25 in tube with a thin layer of fleece in between and sewing it on top of the seams to get a similar look with less bulk. It's taken me forever though and yours seemed like it came together really quickly!

It can get bulky, so many layers. I do a lot of trimming to eliminate some of the bulk. I also just did a single fold bias binding on the shoulders, armholes, and on the collar to cover seams. And then I did a double fold bias tape for the open edges.

Very nice! A few questions: How do you wash it? Would you not want pockets?

You would wash on cold, tumble dry low. Or dry clean. You could definitely add pockets. I decided not to.

I love the flower style block you did for your mom. It's beautiful. As a quilter, I think I will starch my fabrics to preshrink them. Then washing will be really easy. The blue strip at the bottom of the sleeve and checkered bottom just finish it off so well. I wondered about pockets too. It would have taken away from your design. BUT maybe when I make one, I'll put pockets on the flannel side. They could still be used when worn quilted side out, right? 😊 Also, I would love a video up close of how you sewed on the bias binding so nice and flat. You are very talented and very professional.

@ibrockinrobin67 Thank you! I considered pockets, but I don’t always love the way they make jackets hang when you put say a phone in them. If that doesn’t bother you, you should definitely add some. I find that the binding is what confuses people most, so maybe I will make a little video explaining it.
