This Appley Jacket is made from a multi-coloured patchwork quilt and red and white gingham bias binding which I made out of an upcycled cotton duvet cover.
It is fully reversible, one side being the main patchwork which is the wedding ring quilt pattern and the reverse side is the original backing of the patchwork quilt which is plain white cotton, but the seams are bound in the gingham bias biding which makes a clean yet decorative finish. I have used the main side of the quilt for the pockets just to add a bit of contrast. I have also hand sewn my Kc label to the outside of this side.
Both sides have pocket, of course, because I LOVE a pocket!
It’s an oversized fit and the sleeves can be turned up with a cuff. It could fit anyone from a size UK6 to a UK14 depending on how much ease you like.
It’s 27” pit to pit or 54” circumference at the chest.
The sleeves are about 23” long from shoulder to cuff or 34” from the top of the collar to the cuff.
The length of the jacket is 27” from the top of the collar to the hem.
The collar is designed to be worn turned up, which gives your neck added protection from the elements.
This quilt isn’t heavily padded so it’s a good transitional jacket for spring/autumn and for cooler summer evenings. Or you can layer up underneath it for winter.
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR GARMENT
This jacket can be washed in a washing machine on a regular cycle of 30 - 40 degrees. But I would spot clean as much as possible to avoid unnecessary wear to the patchwork.
Some of the quilts I upcycle are quite old and some are handstitched and quite delicate. But the beauty of patchwork is that it can be repaired by replacing the small patches of fabric over time.
