After seeing the coat made and in person, it is the most adorable quilted jacket you will ever wear!
This coat allows you to showcase your quilting talent everywhere you go!
Over three days, you can learn to make the Bella Quilted Coat with Accent Sleeve adaptations, and we will discuss the other option of the Arcs and Beauties.

We will help you measure everything, pick the suitable size and make any adjustments to the sleeve length. You may want to bring muslin to make a mock jacket to ensure the fit you selected is correct.
