Sewing Quilted Patchwork Jackets - Rae Cumbie

From Fox Chapel, Sewing Quilted Patchwork Jackets by Rae Cumbie and Carrie Emerson is a paperback guide to creating wearable quilting projects with a clear, practical focus. It covers how to position blocks accurately, add appliqué elements, layer and quilt, and build a jacket piece-by-piece, making it a useful reference for anyone looking to translate patchwork skills into finished garments.

The authors share four approaches to construction: jackets with loose linings and two quilted layers; jackets with the lining quilted into a sandwich for three layers; reversible jackets with two decorative sides and batting in between; and jackets made from already made quilts. Beginners are guided through core garment considerations including fabric selection, piecing and placement, liners, hem length, and finishing details such as collars, cuffs, and pockets. Two basic multi-size downloadable patterns are included for adults and children, with multiple length options, while intermediate and advanced quilters can adapt the projects and draw ideas from a gallery of quilted jacket photographs.
