The Circle Hexagon Purse is super roomy and big enough for sewing projects on the go.
I’ve wanted to make a quilt coat for some time. I used the Flora Jacket pattern from Bright Side which is an easy fitting jacket with patch pockets and a dropped sleeve. The pockets were a wee bit big for my taste, so I reduce the size to 7″ tall x 7 1/4″ wide. I also shortened the front on the longer version by about 1 1/2″. The version I made is a size Medium and is nice and roomy.
The Brown Ditsy print – “Genoveffa Raisin”, was perfect for quilting! The print has a symmetrical pattern so I was able to use the print as my quilting guide – no marking required.
The binding is also a Bee Basics Bee Gingham – Cassidy Gingham in color Coral.
I love the pop of pink on the inside collar!
Here is my Quilt Coat inspiration board : ) I ended up choosing a pattern that looks and fits closest to the Free People jacket on the bottom left. My next quilt coat will be a version of the out of print pattern on the right – Simplicity 8298 with a vintage Cottagecore / Little House on the Prairie vibe.
I started a few more projects I thought I would share. This Dresden block is destined to become another Circle purse.
The Dresden block was made from a template from EZ quilting you can find HERE. I used the 6″ length blade and it fit the Circle purse perfectly.
