Since you are going to make this again when you find your dream quilt: Instead of binding all the edges with bias tape before you sewed the pieces together, I would sew the seams first and then bind them with the bias tape. It uses half as much bias tape since it's binding 2 layers at once, and also takes half as much time. Plus the inside will be cleaner with just one bound edge per seam instead of two.

Didn't know I needed one of these in my life until now....totally reminds me of a vintage housecoat! Cozy and chic! I wonder if making one out of a puffy down comforter would be too difficult, but that would be SOOO warm.

I have been looking for MONTHS for the perfect quilt to upcycle for this exact project. And then I see this video- yours looks gorgeous!! I can’t wait to make my own!

This is my first YouTube comment ever. Just had to. You manage to express the manic joy of creating things! And how every step seriously takes 50 years. So inspiring and fun to watch.

Hi Jenna, I absolutely love your videos and your positiv energy❤️❤️

[ScoutFinch]

I love it! It gives me vintage 50’s housecoat/robe vibes. ♥️✌🏼

Great job on the jacket. I’m a quilter and I’m glad you found a use for this pretty quilt. I might make myself a quilted bed jacket with and old quilt, thanks for the inspiration. You rocked it my girl. ♥️

You are so enjoyable to watch! I have come back to this video a few times while making my own quilt jacket. Thanks for the good vibes! Cute jacket!

Jenna, Great job and it looks so cozy!!! May I suggest that the next time you make your dream quilt coat, that you use only one thickness of the quilt for the belt and use the same bias tape to bind all the edges of the belt? It will match the rest of the edges of the coat (Where you see the bias tape), and I think it might make it look less like a bathrobe tie and more like a coat belt! Just a suggestion!

I think you should take that star pillow case and make a cropped jacket with it and pattern match with other quilts for the sleeves and collar.

There is a sewing maching foot that feeds the bias tape through that binds around the fabric that makes a project like this easier ...also you might consider sewing everything together then binding the seams it is a lot less work and less bias tape.
Great project! You are always informative as well as entertaining!

[mwolkonsky]

it's beautiful. I have a quilt I made which is gray and white I think i'm going to do this to. Very inspired and thank you for sharing your project.

Wild that the algorithm knows there’s a thrifted quilt in the trunk of my car right now and offered this video up to me this morning. 😨

[oatmealhoney]

So happy you're finally doing it! Manifesting your dream quilt coming soon ✨

[jcampbell]

Nice work really has that 50's housecoat vibe.

You tube brought up this video for me. This jacket qualifies as a winter coat in Houston Texas for milder days. I saw one at Dillard's but I never saw anyone wear one. Anyway, I found a quilt and revisit working with quilted fabric. It was popular in Illinois when I lived there back in the late 70d.
