Description
This two part class will help you make the quilted Hovea Jacket of your dreams. The two class sessions are designed to be taken together or individually. Are you already a confident quilter or do you have an old quilt you'd like to make a jacket out of? Just sign up for part 2! Are you a garment sewist who can handle the Hovea pattern on your own but don't know how to quilt? Session 1 is perfect for you! Want some support for the whole exciting process? Take both sessions together!
SESSION 1: Mon. January 13-27, 6pm-9pm
In the first 3 week session we will make the quilted fabric that will serve as the foundation for our jackets. You can either use the Jelly Rainbow pattern you see in the sample, or bring your own quilt pattern and we can adapt it to a jacket.
SESSION 2: Mon. February 10-24, 6pm-9pm
In the second 3 week session we will be cutting, assembling, and binding our Hovea jackets.
The Hovea Jacket by Megan Nielsen is a size inclusive pattern available in 3 lengths and extending up to a 62 inch hip. The pattern is included with the purchase of SESSION 2.
