Viola Quilted Jacket

Meet your new quilty pleasure! The Peppermint Viola Quilted Jacket is set to become your fave snuggly sidekick as you go about your business on those in-between-season days.

This quilted cutie has it all: a cropped length for easy layering, a grown-on collar and bound seams for keeping things classy, and long sleeves you can turn back to reveal a flash of your lining fabric. Oh, and did we mention pockets? Perfect to keep your mitts toasty! Sew it true to size for the perfect transeasonal weight or size it up to fit a chunky knit underneath when things get frosty – the Viola Quilted Jacket has you covered.

Made in collaboration with our friends at Australian fabric wholesaler Two Green Zebras, our version of the Viola Quilted Jacket features Liberty of London’s Ciara print for the outer fabric, a stunning botanical design plucked straight from the archives and reimagined from a 1960s scarf pattern. We picked a sweet cotton poplin for the lining fabric. Two Green Zebras is proud to be the exclusive Australian distributor of Liberty Fabrics, bringing these iconic prints to local makers who love a little luxury in their me-mades. With an extensive range of Liberty Tana Lawns and Lasenby Quilting Cottons, Two Green Zebras stock the entire Liberty Classic Collection in their Sunshine Coast warehouse, regularly bringing in special collections from London, Italy and Japan. Head to the Two Green Zebras website to check for stockists, and follow their Liberty page on Instagram @Regent_Street_Fabrics or @2GreenZebras.

The Viola Quilted Jacket hits the sweet spot for both established sewists keen to learn a new skill (quilting!), and quilters looking to try their hand at garment-making. Top tip from us: invest in a walking foot for your sewing machine as it will make the whole quilting process much easier!
