Pastel Patchwork Quilted Kids Jacket – Sewing Pattern PDF
Kids jacket • Patchwork • Quilted in diamonds • Bias binding • Patch pockets • Buttons and loops • Sizes 2 to 10 years • Instant PDF download
A soft kids jacket of pastel patchwork, quilted in diamonds, with powder blue binding, wooden buttons and patch pockets. It is spring in patchwork ✨
You make the fabric first, then the jacket: pastel bricks sewn into panels, layered with batting and a lining that becomes the inside, quilted in diamonds, then cut with four pattern pieces. Every edge is bound in powder blue, the fronts meet edge to edge under five wooden buttons with thread loops, and two square patch pockets sit low on the fronts.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 years, by height 36¼" to 55" (92 to 140 cm)
16 cm (6¼") of ease at the chest: the quilted layers take some, the rest goes over a jumper
