About to make my 1st Quilted Jacket:-) Any advise?
I am about to head off to the sewing room to make me a quilted jacket. I am wanting to make it to wear to sporting events to show my school spirit. I am thinking on doing it like our schools Lettermans' jacket but I was going to switch mine to blue sleeves & a white chest area. I also wanted to put a large S on the back for the school. I 'was' thinking of piecing the letter S for the back but now I am leaning on just using my Cricut to cut out a Varsity style S out and just ironing it on? Our school colors also have a small amount of red so I thought I would use that for my trim.
I guess my first steps will be to cut out my pattern and then I was going to sew the amount of blue & white fabric needed together and load it on my short arm machine. If anyone has any tips for me, ideas or any pictures I would love the help. I know how to quilt but this will be my first Jacket!
My son plays football & wrestles. I was also thinking on putting his number on my jacket but if I do that I will need to make another one for wrestling. What do u guys/gals think?
