Quilt Coat (Green Petals)
This jacket is modeled on the traditional barn jacket, and snaps closed with 4 antique brass snaps down the front, two patch pockets, and a hangtag. The front and neckline binding re-uses the trim from a similarly colored quilt from the same era in my collection.
m.a.b.e.l’s coats are boxy with a drop shoulder, and hit at mid-hip (depending on your height).
What I love about this one: two-colored quilts are always a fave, and the petals/lover's knot pattern is wonderful in green!

Our Process
Purpose in Repurposing
Everything I make at m.a.b.e.l takes time. I find and like to work with pre-1950s quilts because of their natural fibers and their designs that are so old they’re modern again. I work slowly to appreciate all the handwork and decisions that once created them. Every quilt is beautifully unique, and I love making it shine.
Out with the old...
At m.a.b.e.l, everything old can be new again. Send me your used m.a.b.e.l coat or popover (it’ll be repurposed once again!) and I'll give you a discount on your next one!
