What People Are Saying

♥♥♥♥♥ I had been wanting to try this idea for my granddaughter for a while, so when I saw this on Facebook I thought it was great. I bought a kit and I'm glad I did - shipped the day I ordered and arrived in 3 days, before I would have gotten down to the fabric shop. The directions were easy to follow and the pictures helpful. She will be happy on her birthday! - Melinda

♥♥♥♥♥ I purchased the kit and I am SO HAPPY with my results. I was nervous to cut into the clothes, but after watching the videos it all made sense and I finished the quilt in about a week of working on it here & there - very cute and my son loves to snuggle with it already. - Deborah

♥♥♥♥♥ I loved this book!!! I am new to quilting and found the book easy to follow. Since I'm new, the step by step instructions, along with the provided materials (in the kit) really set me up for success. I was very proud of the product that I had made! Now I can say that I have successfully sewn a blanket that I could give to my kids and they can say, "My mom made this! -Bookworm

♥♥♥♥♥ Love it! I've always wanted to have baby clothes quilts made for my kids, but was unsure about my own skill level and was put off by the cost of having someone else do it. This book made it easy and approachable for me to make them myself and they turned out wonderfully. Thank you so much!  -Etsy Customer

♥♥♥♥♥ I have been following Jamie’s work via social media for years. She does a beautiful job on her quilts and really has become the expert in modern clothing quilts. So when she came out with her baby clothes quilt book I knew this was my chance to get a detailed tutorial on how to make a clothes blanket with sound advice. I have used this book, and the principles taught in it, to make a clothing blanket out of my husband’s shirts. I need to collect another seasons worth of clothes for my daughter then I will tackle my first baby clothes quilt. Principles and techniques taught in this book and video tutorials are geared towards baby clothes, but easily adapted for adult shirts as well! -Elizabeth

Fun Jamie Facts!

  • I grew up on a big farm in Iowa, but we had no animals (just grain!) so I had no chores! People always ask if I had to wake up at 5AM to shovel manure. Not even close… but I did get to mow the lawn while listening to my Discman!

  • I also love Disney movies - mostly because they are musicals. My favorite princess is Rapunzel (Hey, I make baby clothes quilts... having a favorite princess is part of the gig.)
