Why Choose Quilted Fabric for Your Bomber Jacket?
Quilted fabric is not only stylish but also practical. It provides extra warmth. This makes it a great choice for a bomber jacket. It will keep you snug during chilly days. The quilted texture adds depth and interest to your jacket, giving it a unique and fashionable look. Plus, it’s relatively easy to work with. Many quilted fabrics come in a variety of patterns, colors, and weights. This lets you personalize your jacket to fit your style perfectly.
In this pattern, I used quilted fabric for both the fashion fabric (the outer layer) and the lining. The lining was a remnant that I found at Joann Fabric. This creates a cohesive look. It ensures that the jacket is just as comfortable on the inside as it is stylish on the outside.
