Quilt Coat - Pink Shoo Fly

This quilt coat was made using a vintage quilt sourced from a rag house in Minnesota, from around the late 1930s. It features a variety of cotton and feed sack fabrics. It is in good condition for its age, but does include a few opened seams mended. The quilt is all machine quilted, with great attention to detail. 

The pattern created for this coat has been designed to fit a variety of bodies, intentionally open-faced with no buttons or zippers, long and loose around the mid section to be accommodating.

This quilt is light to medium weight, perfect for a thicker coat in the cooler months..

This quilt has held up well over time. Always remember that this coat is made from an antique quilt that has seen decades of love.

first, remember this is a piece of history - likely around 100 years old. you will see signs of wear, and likely see small tears and stains, which is totally normal! take proper care and be gentle - mending as needed.

washing - deep clean about once a year by soaking in cool water with a gentle or plant based soap - preferably unscented. gently agitate and let it sit for a while - then lay flat in the sun to dry and disinfect! feel free to email us with any maintenance questions hello@reclaimcreative.space
