The Thread recently published a tutorial of mine on how to sew a quilted vest.
I used their 5.3 oz softened linen in the Evergreen color, gorgeous color, and took photos of each step.
Check out the post on The Thread for the full tutorial.
Here’s how it turned out!
Quilted vest paired here with my 14 oz Dawn Jeans and captured at night with my new camera flash I’ve been playing with.
One of my favorite things about making quilted clothes is seeing the piece before washing and after.
When quilting, I don’t prewash the fabric. I want as many cozy wrinkles as possible. I cut the pattern about one size larger and then it shrinks down after washing. It’s very fun to see the transformation.
Here are a few photos of the process.
