Give a sweatshirt or hoodie a whole new life by creating and attaching a simple quilt block to it!About this Event
Please note this workshop is taking place from 6 - 9 pm Pacific Time!
You Will Learn:
- To accurately cut using a rotary cutter, ruler, and cutting mat
- How to piece your quilt block
- How to stabalize your quilt block
- How to attach your quilt block to your garment
You are Welcome To Join This Class If:
- You should have a couple of simple sewing projects under your belt and be comfortable threading and operating a machine.
What To Bring:
- a sweatshirt or hoodie
- enough fabric for 9 different 4”/10 cm squares
You can use scraps of quilting cotton or linen or upcycle tea towels, button-down shirts, old sheets/pillowcases etc. Any mid-weight, woven fabric (not stretchy) will work.
If you don’t have anything to upcycle, you can buy 9 different 5” lengths of quilting cotton or stable linen fabric or 9 "fat quarters" (quilting measurement) from a fabric store. You will have leftover fabric! - 2 spools of good quality all-purpose thread (e.g. Mettler, Gutermann): 1 colour that blends in with your fabrics (for piecing, grey usually works) and 1 that matches your sweatshirt (for topstitching). (No vintage or dollar store thread, please, as these tend to break!)
- Your sewing machine, if you have one and want to bring it

I Will Provide:
