Quilt a garment - PEP BB textile.straw.sew.quiltgarment

Curious, what is a likely lining when the idea is recycling or scrap jouning?

Eg an old sheet?
Would that be the equivalent or ??

For the one I did recently, I pieced together some cloth from old clothes for the lining and outside.    That's the great thing about lined clothes - it makes it very easy to sew small pieces of fabric together to create a larger one without having to worry too much about raw edges.  

Fabric piecing is awesome!

I submit this quilted shirt. I finished it back in 2019, and think I managed to take enough pictures for this badge bit.

My partner had a couple old blue Field & Stream shirts from when his grandpa passed away. They were much loved and worn until the cuffs and collar were shredded, and there was also fabric disintegrating around the shoulders, yoke, and part of the front. Holes everywhere! It was to the point that I didn't want the shirts being worn in public anymore, but they had good whakapapa, so I decided to make them into something new instead of cutting them into rags.

I carefully pieced matching colours together to quilt a symmetrical garment in the various sun-bleached shades of blue. Despite starting with two shirts, I ran out of material for the sleeves, and so used a white cotton bedsheet for them. Given the small patch size in the rest of the shirt (+ cuff + 10"), I am hoping that this will qualify for a half-sleeve garment in the quilting side. Seams are either felled, covered in hand-applied twill tape, or inserted between layers of fabric (e.g. cuff insertion). There are no raw edges, and I made sure to attach the extra buttons to the inside of the garment so that if one goes missing, it can be replaced. It is lined with a retro bedsheet (stained, got at an op shop), because I have a thing for hidden floral patterns.

I used a pattern from a different shirt that I carefully picked apart to make this new one.

Is this meant to be hand stitching or can it be machine sticking or does not matter??

either or both depending on your skills and preference.

THIS SHIRT is to fabulous.

Thanks for the inspiration.
Oh, too many challenges to complete on the Permies.com
Such fun. If only this is all I had to do in my week. LOL.

So is this supposed to be quilted or is it just a pieced item that is lined?

I think both quilted and patchwork.
