Do you think the weight may also come from the drapery fabric? Once I used some leftover drapery fabric and made a lap quilt. It is so heavy that no one ever uses it! I think on mine, the weight comes from the drapery fabric, and also the fact that I used it for both the lining and top, so double the weight for it. I bet I don't do that again :)
Yes, although much of the fabric was cotton similar in weight to quilting cotton. I think that the many layers: lining, flannel, fabric, and flanges just makes it heavy. I guess I'll just have a new winter jacket!
