I sew quilted jackets. I assemble about 20 fabrics in a pleasant color scheme, cut them into strips of various widths and lay them out beside my sewing machine. Having cut the pattern from white flannel, I begin to sew the strips onto the flannel in a stitch and flip method so that when I finish, the pattern pieces are already quilted.

In this instance, the customer wanted a scalloped edge that didn't have buttons, an unusual idea that I enjoyed sewing for her.
