I first saw this pattern a little less than a year ago, when an acquaintance of mine had made one of her own. I was completely in awe and though I could never make anything like it. I was encouraged when she said it wasn’t too challenging, and the hardest part for her was picking the fabric. I’d already made a quilted, so clearly the next step would be a quilted jacket!
The pattern comes from Grainline Studio is a pattern company out of the US. For more info and patterns, you can check out their website!
So, I ordered the pattern in from The Makehouse, a sewing store in Victoria that I’d taken some lessons at before.
The Descriptions on the pattern reads:
“Designed with the transitional seasons in mind, the Tamarack Jacket is a warm and stylish quilted coat perfect for spring and fall layering. Follow one of the two quilting designs included, or design your own to make your Tamarack totally original to you! You’ll stay toasty thanks to the inner layer of cotton or wool batting, while the roomy welt pockets will keep your belongings safe and your hands warm.”
As Victoria is in a permanent state of “transitional seasons” I thought this would be perfect. Now, I just have to gather my materials, and decided on fabric and batting!
