Let’s Make a Jacket!
Ready to make a fashion statement? Join us for a Quilted Jacket or Quilted Hoodie class on Sundays April 12 and 26th from 12:00 – 5:00 pm. The first session will focus on your choice of patterns available at Quilt Haven on Main (The Elemental Coat, Tamarack Jacket, or Quilted Hoodie). Then let’s get the pattern sized to you and traced onto Pattern Ease. This will help with making a personalized size sample and for future projects.
You will also need to decide in advance whether you are cutting up a pre-made quilt, using one of our five “cheater prints” that look pieced, or starting with yardage and a pattern to make a quilted (but not bound) top to be cut into the jacket parts. If starting with a pattern and yardage, it is recommended that you stop at the shop to make your purchase and start sewing before class begins. It is also recommended that if you want a pieced topper or the cheater print topper sandwiched and quilted prior to the 2nd class, you should contact your longarm quilter to get on their schedule in advance.
During class there will be several staff instructors on hand to guide and assist. There will also be sergers for use in the final construction stage. An alternate way of finishing raw-edge seams with binding will also be demonstrated. Come join us for a fun and creative class!!
