$3 THIFTED MAGIC

I love me a great thrift store find.

Like this Wedding Ring Quilt.

Hold onto your hat...the price tag was $3.00

Not a typo...$3.00

There were a few hole in it and the binding had seen better days.

I found this pattern to make a quilt coat.

Lawd have mercy...it was $18 on sale!

But it was a perfect style for me.

A swing coat of sorts.

Only I wanted a shorter length...which was an option.

I am not much of a garmet maker.

So I enlisted the help of my sweet friend, Patty Estadt.

She knows what she's doing...me...an amateur!

Patty was able to lay out this pattern over the quilt

and look how the lapels came into play!

And the back of the coat was just ahhhmazing!

And before we knew it...well, 2 days later...

Here's what happened.

Oh me gosh! I love it.

Look at the cuffs....we used almost every inch of that quilt!

Yep, one happy girl in a beautiful quilt coat.

The bottom edge has a facing type of binding.

And here it is all buttoned up!
