Ethel No. 1 Quilt Jacket
Couldn't load pickup availability
Ethel is up-cycled from a handmade cotton quilt top collected from a sweet antique shop owner who stitched it together years ago but never finished out the backing. We connected over our love for sewing and sustainability, so when I told her I up-cycle damaged and worn quilts she unpacked her stash of unfinished, travel-worn projects to say I could buy some if I promised to turn them into something someone could use. Enter Ethel No. 1, the first coat to be fashioned out of one of these beautiful quilts.
The inside is fully lined with more cotton so she is fully reversible with all hidden seams. I opted out of adding the layer of batting that usually gives a quilt its bulk because it can sometimes make coats TOO bulky, so she’s excellent for layering over sweaters and wearing in the warmer months too!
She has a relaxed, boxy fit with a slightly cropped length. Exact measurements may be provided upon request!

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Please note these are handmade goods and while they are quite sturdy, they will still wear if not properly cared for. Care for them well and they’ll live more than one life!
If being used daily or multiple times a week, I recommend simply rinsing with fresh water and hanging to dry, then washing after a handful of rinses.
TO WASH: hand wash or gentle cycle with cold water and a gentle detergent.
TO DRY: hanging is always best to preserve these stretchy fibers, but in a pinch tumble drying low will air them out quickly!
These pieces can absolutely be worn as regular clothing! They will arrive to you pressed with low heat and can be pressed low as needed.
*grommets may rust if left to sit wet for an extended period of time*
