This is what has been keeping me busy for the last few days.
I began with a Tilda charm pack which I had had for ages and some Bomull from Ikea. I made up a piece of patchwork with alternate squares, big enough to go round me with a bit extra . I layered this up with wadding and more Bomull and quilted it with my shiny new rulers. Two more pieces made the sleeves.I then cut it down to the right size, cut some armholes and the sleeves. To keep it neat inside I bound the seams.
The pockets are done like bound buttonholes with a lining hand stitched on the back.

57675Looks great, I like the way you did the sleeves no raw edges, and sometimes even when I finish with the serger it does not look as neat as this.

I was very strict with myself and didn't keep moving the fabric so I could stitch towards myself. It has got easier, but my stitches are all sizes!
