23+ Quilted Jacket Sewing Pattern

Creating a quilted jacket sewing pattern involves a bit more complexity than a simple pair of pants, but the process can still be broken down into steps. Below is a guide to help you make a basic quilted jacket pattern. Keep in mind that this is a simplified version, and you can modify it based on your preferences.

Materials:

• Large sheets of paper (pattern paper or old newspapers)
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Measuring tape
• Fabric for the outer layer
• Quilt batting
• Lining fabric
• Buttons or zipper
• Interfacing (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Take Measurements

1. Bust: Measure the fullest part of your bust.
2. Waist: Measure the circumference of your natural waistline.
3. Hip: Measure the fullest part of your hip.
4. Back Width: Measure from shoulder to shoulder across your back.
5. Back Length: Measure from the base of your neck to your waist.

Step 2: Drafting the Pattern

1. Front Panel:
   • Draw a rectangle on the paper for the front panel.
   • The width should be half of your bust measurement plus ease.
   • The length is the desired length of your jacket.
2. Back Panel:
   • Draw another rectangle for the back panel.
   • The width should be equal to your back width plus ease.
   • The length should match the back length measurement.
3. Shoulder Slope:
   • From the top corners of the front and back panels, slope down to create the shoulder line.
4. Neckline:
   • Scoop out a gentle curve for the neckline on both the front and back panels.
5. Armhole:
   • Mark the armhole by measuring down from the shoulder on both panels.
6. Side Seams:
   • Connect the armhole point to the bottom of the panels with a slightly curved line to create the side seams.
7. Quilted Pattern:
   • Cut out the front and back panels from both the outer fabric and the quilt batting.
   • Quilt the layers together in your desired pattern.
8. Lining:
   • Cut out identical front and back panels from the lining fabric.
9. Collar (Optional):
   • Draft a pattern for the collar by creating a rectangle that matches the neckline and is as wide as you prefer.

Step 3: Cutting and Sewing

1. Place the quilted front and back panels right sides together with the lining panels.
2. Sew the shoulder seams and side seams.
3. Attach the collar if you've chosen to include one.
4. Hem the sleeves and bottom of the jacket.
5. Add closures like buttons or a zipper down the front.
6. Finish by pressing seams and giving your jacket a final press.

Remember to add seam allowances (typically 1/2 inch) to your pattern pieces. Additionally, feel free to customize the pattern based on your style preferences and the specific details you want in your quilted jacket. As with any sewing project, it's a good idea to make a mock-up first to ensure a good fit and to make any necessary adjustments.
