SUGGESTED FABRICS

VIEW A - BARN COAT

• Mid- to heavyweight non-stretch wovens with structure, such as canvas, twill, denim, corduroy, or wool.

VIEW B - QUILTED JACKET

• For a quick and easy make, choose a prequilted fabric or a substantial jacquard, brocade, or similarly beefy fabric that holds its shape without a batting layer.

To create a quilted jacket:

• Outer and inner layer − light- to midweight woven fabrics such as cotton poplin, lawn, voile, chambray and broadcloth, or linen. Drapey fabrics are not recommended.
• Middle batting layer − quilt batting in cotton, bamboo, or wool.
