Quilted Jacket Camp
July 16 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
CAD $225.00
We are over the moon for this new class. Design your own unique quilted jacket with the help of three Maker Savvy instructors. Wendy, Jacqueline and Kathy will guide through the entire design, quilting and finishing process to complete your own quilted jacket.
First, Wendy will take you through the process of designing your fabric for your jacket. She will show you how to get over the ‘blank canvas’ fear of your design. You will learn a few different ideas on how to visualize your unique design. In the next planning session we will trouble shoot how to implement your design. Will you piece? Foundation paper piecing? Applique? Or will you use a combination of techniques.
Second, Jacqueline will guide you through the next design process; how the heck will I quilt this? In the first session, you will draw out how to ‘fill’ the space. What type of batting will you use to great the desired look of your quilted pieces. In the next quilting session Jacqueline will guide you through the process of quilting your individual pieces. Will you use a walking foot? Free motion? Hand stitching or long slow stitch? Or, will you use a combination? The sky is the limit.
And thirdly, putting your pieces together. Kathy will guide you through the final cutting of your pattern pieces and assembly. Will your jacket be reversible? In your second finishing session, she will show you how to professionally finish your project and explore seaming options.
The Quilted Jacket Camp has six, three hour class instruction session over the span of eight weeks. You will be the talk of the town when you wear your new jacket this fall. Limited spaces are available.
Class fees include class instruction and Verona coat pattern (yeah we sang the song too).
