With its simple shape, side ties and neat lining, it's an easy layering piece that works beautifully on its own or worn as a gilet over a favourite shirt or dress when the weather turns cooler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose to make Joa in a quilted or non-quilted fabric, depending on the look you're after. Soft quilted cottons create a cosy, textured layer, while denim or layered cotton jacquard gives it a more structured, contemporary feel. The pattern even includes instructions for quilting your own fabric, making it a brilliant introduction to this traditional technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuick and satisfying to sew, Joa is a lovely project for confident beginners and experienced dressmakers alike. It's also a great opportunity to experiment with colour and texture, particularly if you fancy making your own quilted fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e XS–3XL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFabric Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePre-quilted:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quilted cotton, quilted cotton jacquard or pre-quilted Indian cotton.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor quilting your own fabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight linen, cotton, cotton blends or lightweight denim up to 5oz.
