Wearable TQ

[ikemouser]

Im trying to buy or make a wearable top quilt. I already own a JRB and am looking for someone else who makes them, or directions on how to make one. If anyone knows if directions or another producer let me know. Wearable quilts have allowed me to not have to carry a heavy winter jacket, significantly lightening my load. I do not want to abandon them.

Thanks

basically make a poncho, but fill it with down and find a way to close the head opening to convert it in a quilt!

If the uq you have now is long enough to work as a serape or poncho, it should be a fairly easy diy project.
Stitch in the head opening with two rows of stitch (basically a big button hole), cut the opening, trim the opening to make it look good, install velcro to close the opening when used as a quilt.
Done.

just a thought;
last time I cut a hole in the center of a Mex blanket to make a poncho

there ended up (as a poncho) to be more hang in front than the back

Suggestion cut the hole more to one end and in the center

that way it will hang the same length front and back.

Suggested off set . . . ? ? ?

Turn it around??

maybe he cut them evenly but because of the backpack, the poncho comes down much farther in the front than the back.

Go have some coffee and rethink what you just said.

also I cut it across . . . didn't work real good

slit front to back IMO would be better . . .
