I’m working away behind the scenes to finish up my latest batch of hand dyed quilted goodies. They are all one of a kind, so be sure to join my email list so you don’t miss out! In the mean time, I thought I’d tell you about my quilt coat!

My last post was about the first quilt coat I made when things were on pause here in NYC last year. I really loved the first one, but there were a few tweaks that I wanted to make.

I changed the shape of the underarm seam, removed a seam from the sleeves and added a seam to the center back.

For the quilting, I tried hand tying, which I hadn’t done before. I decided to place the knots on the inside of the coat, so as not to make the outside look too busy.

I am totally in love with this coat! It is so warm and cozy and basically feels like wearing a quilt all day long.

My newest batch of quilted goodies is almost ready, and they are all one of a kind, so be sure to sign up for my email list if you want to be first to shop!
