Please note this is a two part workshop.
Part 1 Saturday 9th August 10.00am – 4.00pm
Part 2 Saturday 16th August 10.00am – 4.00pm
One payment covers both sessions. Materials are NOT included. There is a 10% discount on all fabrics purchased for the workshop by attendees.
Day 1 Saturday 9th August 10.00am – 4.00pm
The first session of this two day workshop will be focused on making the pattern for your quilted jacket and then piecing your patchwork together. Graham will guide you through the process of using your oversized sweatshirt to create a paper pattern which will then be used on the second day. You will also make up your quilt top using your own material which you have chosen prior to the day.
Between the two days you will need to quilt your top, batting and lining together. Graham is kindly offering his services at a reduced rate of £35 to quilt your fabric ready for Day 2. If you are happy to quilt it yourself that is also great but will need to be quilted by Day 2.
Day 2 Saturday 16th August 10.00am – 4.oopm
In this session you will be using your paper pattern to cut out and then construct your quilted jacket. Graham will help you construct the jacket and will be on hand to provide hints and tips for the tricky bits! An overlocker will be available for those who would like to overlock seams. You will hopefully leave with your quilted jacket finished or very nearly complete!
Required sewing knowledge/experience for both sessions
You will need to have experience making simple quilt tops prior to the workshop and understand how to use your sewing machine. This is not a beginners class and is ideally for those quilters who would like to construct a garment.
What will you need to bring for both sessions?
- your sewing machine
- a layer cake or the equivalent of 2.5m of fabric for the patchwork
- 1m suitable batting ie a thin, breathable natural fibre such as cotton or bamboo
- lining fabric (this can be purchased after Day 1)
- a sweatshirt one size bigger than usually worn
- matching thread
Machines are available to hire so please let us know if you would like to use one of our machines.
