Quilted Jacket

It’s back!! The Quilted Jacket. Margaret is excited to help you create this jacket and teach
you how to create other items using this quilt-as-you-go (QAYG) technique.
Quilted garments are everywhere these days! In this 2-part class you will create and
construct a QAYG jacket using the Laura Jacket pattern. Please purchase the pattern
when you register for the class. PLEASE NOTE: The Laura Jacket pattern is available in
two size ranges. The original Laura pattern includes sizes XS thru XXL. The Laura Jacket
Plus Sizes pattern includes sizes XL thru 6XL. Both patterns are multi-sized. You will
choose your size, and we will trace and trim that size, preserving the original pattern so
when your friends ask you for a jacket, you’ll have the pattern for their size. Tracing paper
(tissue) will be provided.
During the first class, we will trace and trim the correct pattern size, prep and cut the
batting and lining, discuss strip placement, and start creating the quilted elements.
During the second class, we will complete the quilting and discuss finishing the jacket. If
we stay focused, there is time to finish the jacket during the 2-session class.
Once you have mastered the basics, Margaret will present a variety of design options as
well as how to use this technique for other projects. Options are unlimited.
NOTE: This is a 2-session class, 5 hours each day. We will not take a break for lunch but
feel free to bring something you can eat while we work. Drinks must have lids.
