Having previously made 4 versions of the Tamarack jacket I felt confident in making yet another for myself to be followed by a matching one for my sister.

I chose a couple of single-size quilted bedspreads from Amazon which provide fast and easy access to pre-quilted fabric for these projects.

Once I had cut out the main pieces, I unpicked the binding from the rest of quilt to use on the jacket.

The outer pockets, sleeve hems, neckline and all the internal seams are finished with the the binding which makes for a very coordinated look. I even made an additional internal pocket to store my mobile phone or even to wear the jacket inside out. Fan-tas-tic!

I am now in the process of making another jacket for my sister’s birthday and using a second quilt so that we can be matchy, matchy!
