Before I started quilting a few years ago; I made a quilted winter coat. Just made the material in large enough sizes to cut out pattern and put it all together following the pattern.
(I had sewed for many years and made lots of regular coats, jackets, dresses, etc).
I used a light weight flannel to line it once I had the shell together.

Another time I made a jacket out of 2" strips. Made about 72 yards of strips and sewed them into one hugh piece after measuring pattern pieces - mostly the width. Then layed out pattern pieces and cut out as usual. It had long sleeves, and a collar.Large size. Lined it with solid cotton fabric.
Got so interested in this; that I turned to making quilts and since then have given up clothes sewing!! Hope this helps.
