There are few things cozier than wrapping yourself up in a blanket. Unfortunately, this look doesn’t translate past the walls of your home. But that’s okay—Natalie Ebaugh has a stylish solution for it. She creates quilt jackets that combine an eclectic mix of colors and patterns in kimono-style silhouettes and vests.
Each quilted coat is one a kind and takes shape through an intuitive process. To begin, Natalie chooses the fabrics she’ll work with, and she uses a mixture of improv and traditional piecing styles that form the surface patterns. From there, she will use her handy work as a bolt of fabric and cut the jacket pattern from it. The garment is then assembled. All told, it takes 15 to 20 hours to complete each quilt jacket, but the effort is worth it for something so special.
You can buy Natalie’s quilted pieces through her online shop. Follow her on Instagram to see what she’s working on next.
