Reclaimed Quilts - Kathleen McVeigh

From C&T Publishing, Reclaimed Quilts by Kathleen McVeigh and Dale Donaldson is a paperback guide to sewing modern clothing and accessories from vintage textiles. With step-by-step instructions, it takes you from basic garment construction through to more specific techniques, helping you customise projects by adjusting patterns for fit and choosing distinctive finishing and closure details.

Centred on transforming a vintage quilt, the book includes instructions to make one of eight garments, including a chore coat, cropped jacket, quilt top dress and vest. Alongside the start-to-finish projects, you’ll find focused tutorials covering techniques such as binding, welt pockets, installing snaps and finishing seams. Guidance on sourcing vintage textiles is included, as well as advice on caring for and restoring them to a usable condition.
