Quilted Patchwork Sweatshirt Jacket — PDF Sewing Pattern

🌿 Quilted Patchwork Sweatshirt Jacket — PDF Sewing Pattern

Beginner friendly • Quilt-as-you-go method • Built on a store-bought sweatshirt • 9 pages of photo instructions + 1 page of pattern pieces • Instant digital download

Turn an ordinary sweatshirt into the patchwork quilt jacket you keep seeing everywhere — without cutting up a vintage quilt. You sew strips of fabric straight onto the sweatshirt as you go, so the shape is already there and you get to focus on the fun part: choosing your fabrics. The sweatshirt does the work of the batting and the lining, which is what makes this such a forgiving first quilting project. ✨

🧵 What's Included

✔️ 9 pages of step-by-step instructions with photographs
✔️ 1 page of pattern pieces for the finishing details
✔️ Written for standard adult sweatshirt sizes S–XXL
✔️ Instant digital download — no waiting, no shipping

📏 Sizing

This pattern is built onto a sweatshirt you supply, so your finished jacket is the size of the sweatshirt you start with. The instructions are written for standard adult sizes S–XXL. Choose your sweatshirt in the fit you want the finished jacket to have — a relaxed jacket comes from a relaxed sweatshirt.

🧵 Fabric Requirements

Fabric amounts depend on the size of your sweatshirt and the width of the strips you cut, so the pattern walks you through building your strips to fit your own base rather than working to a fixed yardage. Quilting cottons are the natural choice here, and this is a project that rewards a scrap bin, a fat quarter bundle, or a jelly roll you have been saving.
