Fabric used for the creation of this piece:
- Wool fabric
- Old bedding fabric used as a filler material
- Another layer of fabric for lining
- Assorted sewing materials
- Buttons
Fabrication process:
1. Cut out all need layers of fabric. In my case I used 4 layers of filling, upper woolen layer and cotton layer as lining. All six layers together form a sturdy and warm clothing.
2. Using parallel seams I quilted all the layers together. This prevents them to move independently. Quilting patter can wary, depending on your preferences.
2a. Optional: Stuff additional fabric between the quilting seams for even more warmer clothing with additional protection.
3. Sew all pieces of the clothing together. Length of the sleeves can wary depending on your preferences. I created shorter sleeves so the piece could also be used in the warmer months. Shorter sleeves also allow for greater flexibility of arms.
4. All outer visible parts of the clothing should have hemmed edges.
5. Add buttons. For this purpose I used 6 metallic buttons with slightly unusual look.
6. Have fun wearing it. Mine was already tested in few events.
