Love your jacket and fabrics.

Its actually not that heavy. I wear it to work year round. With the office a/c, it's just right without any flannel or batting.

Beautiful, in all aspects!!!! Many individuals that are clothes sewers have told me to buy patterns at least a size bigger than I bought approx. 15yrs ago. Did you do buy or make a size bigger?? I have pattern that are new, yrs. ago I made a size smaller than the pattern measurement.(very solid, not so now) Tinker

Beautiful..Love your fabrics!

Its BEAUTIFUL!

Your jacket is stunning! How clever of you to use the D9P pattern. I never would have thought of using it in that manner. Did you use a particular pattern for making it, i.e., Butterick, McCall's, Simplicity? I usually don't like the jackets I've seen that have been quilted, but that pattern has very straight, clean lines -- just what I like.

I don't buy a bigger size. But then I don't use batting which will make the garment much bulkier. I use the same size that I would use if I was making it out of a regular fabric. When you piece onto a base fabric with quilting cottons, you basically end up with a heavier weight fabric that would be comparable to a sturdy twill or light corduroy so no need to size up for it to fit.

Angelmama, this pattern is a very old Simplicity. I have a couple patterns with straight sides and a good shoulder line for me that I just reuse with adjustments like longer length, cuffs, pockets or whatever. One of the patterns I commonly use started life as a big shirt pattern. I liked the shoulder line as it fit me well and I liked how the sleeves fit so I just widened the sleeve, took the collar off and lowered the neckline and made a straight bottom. Instant jacket!

very nice job!!!

Great job-LOVE your jacket.
