Quilted Jacket Lutterloh Pattern 271



I was inspired to make this quilted jacket from the tiktoker/instagmer wandythemaker. I love how he uses quilts and sleeping bags from the 90's to make jackets and hoodies. When I first started my sewing journey I cut out squares from my daughter's onesie's, and I was going to make a quilt. Unfortunately, that never happened. So I've had this quilt fabric laying around for a few years collecting dust, and I was inspired by wandythemaker to finally put it to good use!

Lutterloh pattern number 271


Where to begin

attach the two bodice pieces right sides together at the shoulders.



Sleeves
do you want to add an embellishment? Now's the time to do it!

I sewed to gather strips of fabric right sides together. Then I sew that gathered fabric on while also sewing the sleeve onto the bodice. I hand sewed a string of faux pearls down the middle of the gathered fabric. Then I sewed two strings of pears on as well. This took a lot of time to get the string of beads to lay just right. So FYI this is a trial and error process. 



Pockets
The pattern does call for pockets on the front, but I chose to sew pockets on the inside instead. I did not want to hide any of the quilt squares with front pockets. 




Bias tape

I wanted a wider bias tape for this project. I found this one on Amazon.

The Hood

The joy of using a Lutterloh pattern, is YOU get to make all the rules! I have never sewed a hood onto anything before. I've watched a few YouTube videos on how to do so, but I chose to sew it on my own way. 
I believe the correct way is to sew it on to lay it flat right sides together. I chose just to lay it on top and sew it on over the bias tape stitch. 



ENJOY! Have fun with your quilt jacket! It's yours! Make it what you want it to be!

Lutterloh Unboxing What Are You Really Getting?

Lutterloh Unboxing YouTube video: US link -  https://i-love-dressmaking.com/ What comes in the box: Book with 180 patterns (xx pages) Two push pins specialty tape measure DVD  cardboard curved ruler What patterns are you getting? I did some research and the book I just ordered (January 2021) has 7 complete supplements in it. The supplements are 305-311. Do not confuse patterns for pages. 280 patterns do not equal 280 pages. There are 2-3 patterns on the back side of each page.  How does the price break down compared to traditional patterns? I went on the simplicity website and their patterns average around $4-$5 a piece. Lutterloh has about 40 patterns per supplement at $22.50 per supplement. If you were to buy 40 traditional patterns, that would cost close to $160. So I'd say that's quite a steal. Annual subscription To find the subscription I had to type "subscription" into the search bar. It is $75 currently for supplements 319-322  History (history tab on website...

The Princess Diana Blouse Made with Lutterloh Sewing System

Image
YouTube Video Tutorial:  https://youtu.be/cpRCGR4tAUM After watching the Netflix documentary "Diana: In Her Own Words", I was inspired to make a high-neckline blouse that resembled many of the blouses Princess Diana used to wear.  I used two Lutterloh patterns to make this garment. The first one was from the supplement book 310, pattern number 2. The other was pattern number 229 from the original Lutterloh book.  I used the supplement pattern for the shirt design. I altered the pattern a little by choosing not to add the hole at the center top. I used the second pattern for the sleeves.  Step 1: draw and cut out the Lutterloh pattern pieces Step 2: wash fabric, cut out fabric pieces Step 3: sew the top shoulders of the blouse right sides together Step 4: gather sleeves to fit the sleeve holes (about 4 inches).  Step 5: Sew channel on the bottom of the sleeve about 1-2 inches from the bottom. Don't forget to add a hem.  Step 6: Sew sleeves on ...

Vintage Lutterloh Pattern Regency Dress

 Vintage Lutterloh Pattern Regency Dress The Inspiration: Bridgerton the Netflix tv show. The pattern inspiration: Butterick 6630 Lutterloh Pattern Used: I do not know what supplement this pattern came from.  Modifictions: I shortened the bodice, lengthened the skirt by three inches, and used the puffy sleeves from the Butterick pattern. I closed the back of the skirt with pleats instead of gathering. Lastly, I added grommet eyelets to fasten the back instead of a zipper. Materials used: 4 yards of dress fabric (cotton) 4 yards of lining fabric (cotton) 2 spools of trim 1 spool of lace (faux pearls were not used) A big emphasis of this video is to bring awareness that if you do buy a Lutterloh kit, you can join the private Lutterloh facebook group (called Lutterloh System). This has been such a great group to be apart of. Many of the same questions I've had, have been asked in the group, it's fun to see what other people are sewing, and you can post your questions i...
