The Coda Quilted Coat is a great piece to add to your outerwear collection that can really make a statement. The coat can be pieced and quilted like a traditional quilt pattern or you can sew it as a normal garment coat pattern without piecing and quilting for a more everyday design. This is a great transitional pattern for quilters who want to dip their toes into garment sewing OR for garment sewists who want to try out quilting!
This pattern comes in sizes XS-5X and includes an optional full bust piece. The Coda Quilted Coat is meant for woven fabrics that are pre-quilted or for quilters cotton. Denims and twills can also be used.
The quilted back option was designed by Amber of Alderwood Studio. It was a pleasure to collaborate with her. Her design aesthetic is modern and wearable which I thought would be a perfect match for this pattern.

I have made two Coda jackets from a pre-quilted coverlet (that my son’s dog chewed a hole in). Such a quick sew. I made my own binding which gives you so many choices. My daughter in law saw it and asked if I would make her one. I left the buttons off of mine but put them on hers and used a different binding. I would like to quilt my own fabric for one this fall – a Liberty would be so pretty.

I LOVE this pattern! It was easy to follow, and I love how I am able to combine quilting with garment sewing. I will definitely be making another one.

I love the Love Notions patterns. Coda was no different!

I have sewed 4 versions of the Coda jacket. This jacket is a relatively easy pattern to sew. I had a lot of fun!

Just finished my first Coda jacket made from a quilted sofa cover!! No one knows and I get compliments all the time. 😊 The pattern went together so quickly and instructions were easy to follow!

This is a great pattern I used the border of an existing quilt top to make mine. The sew-along was also fun.

I made my coda coat little longer than the pattern. Despite being a beginner and probably not grading between sizes quite right, I think the coat turned out very well. Looking forward to making another one in the future.

I made this during testing and LOVED how it came together. Easy sew and such a great statement piece.

I own 12 different love notions patterns, and I think they’re awesome, but to be honest, this pattern gave me a lot of trouble. The basic jacket is simple, but that binding! Oh my! It took me four days working on it for several hours every day. I’m not sure why I had such trouble, but part of it was that I made my own binding and I’m not really good at joining all the ends. That was terribly frustrating and very very time consuming. If I made this jacket again, I would buy premade binding and lots and lots of i!! In the end if I made this again, I would have to put a bust dart in it. The jacket ends hung straight out from my chest pointing away from my body. Not very flattering, but I think that something I could fix with a large dart. The contrast of the binding looked very very nice, I have to admit. This one just wasn’t for me.

The Coda jacket is such a great jacket. It’s an easy to follow pattern (like every Love Notions pattern!) and you come away with the best jacket for those transitional weather days!

Made my first quilted coat using the full bust front and fabrics from my stash. The directions were easy to follow and it came out great. Can’t wait to sew the next one.

One if my favorite pattern. It’s an easy sew and you can customize it in so many way. I have made it only once, but it’s one if my proudest make. I have plans to make many more!

I am a big fan of this pattern. I made the hooded version. I ended up rounding the hood a little bit because when I put it up over my head it was just a little too pointy for me. I have been quilting for years so I decided to quilt the fabric myself using a thin batting so I could choose the exterior and interior fabric. I bound the seams also. Right now there are no buttons. I didn’t think I could get good button holes on the thicker fabric. I am thinking about snaps but am pretty happy with the way it is. My sleeves turned out a little short to roll up the cuffs, so I ended up removing about a half inch before I put the binding on. My next version I want to make with the collar and a straight hem on the bottom.

I found the Coda very easy and quick to put together. I chose some quilted cotton as a final buy from Joann. I bound the pocket flaps and the coat with purchased bias binding. It came out beautifully.

Quick and easy. Won best of class for up cycled garment at local fair. Used an old quilt and made in afternoon

Just finished making this coat in quilted double gauze and bias binding finish. I made a hoody version. There is nothing wrong with the pattern or the instructions but I have struggled with the bias binding on every level. The coat is a nice shape and beautifully warm. I will wear my coat but the finish I achieved with the bias binding is not the best. It was certainly a learning experience but a bit of a head scratcher for me. The instructions were good but execution let me down, should have practised more than I did but I’d recommend the pattern

I love LN printed patterns. I have 2 Coda coats planned with a pretty prequilted fabric and another from a thrifted quilt. I know both will be worn often and loved.

I took the sew along class for the Coda Jacket. I love the way it turned out and I can’t wait to make another one. Maybe this time I will choose a different neckline option.
