Denim Upgrade


Looking ahead towards QuiltCon Phoenix, I decided to upgrade a denim jacket with quilty goodness. The back panel was my first step but is only the beginning of the fun.

To create, I made a panel using scraps and skinny strips. I used fusible fleece and then had great fun with walking foot quilting.


Edges were folded over and basted down and then I used my walking foot to sew it down onto the jacket. I didn't switch to a denim needle. 

More upgrades to come - once I finish some holiday sewing. I can't wait to wear it!



Have a wonderful day! Patty

  2. What a fun way to improv a denim jacket! I like your concept - improv, neutrals with a bit of color, and lotsa quilting. It's looking good! I hope it's cold enough in Phoenix for you to wear it.
