Mimi Goodwin, author of fashion blog “Mimi Style<\/a>” created a cool and quirky tutorial for a do it yourself quilted jacket. It was only her first time quilting anything, but the results look fabulous. For her design, Mimi chose a bold print with contrasting sleeves of luxe black leather.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Using a rotary cutter, she cut the strips of fabric approximately three inches wide.<\/li>\n
  2. Next, she placed each strip of printed fabric together and sewed along the edge with about a 1\/4″ seam allowance.<\/li>\n
  3. After repeating this process several times, she cut them into 5.5″ square pieces.<\/li>\n
  4. She used another tutorial to piece together the contrasting prints, which is one of the first steps towards quilting.<\/li>\n
  5. She used the Butterick 4926 pattern to create a base shape of a shawl.<\/li>\n
  6. She pressed a batting piece together with the fabric and then began to sew the jacket altogether.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The finished piece is definitely a head turner. You’ll garner tons of looks with this bold, daring statement jacket. Choose a solid color or funky print for your base, and then make sure to add leather sleeves for an energizing addition.
