Never the Same Twice Jacket Class
Dates:
- Wednesday, November 14, 6-8 & Saturday, November 24, 10-5
Description: Have you been wanting to try garment sewing but afraid to test your quilting skills on something 3-D? If so, this pattern and class are perfect for you! This great jacket is simple to construct and versatile since you make 2 jackets in one. Yes, it's reversible! Expand your quilting skills into garments as you spend a day making this jacket from start to finish. Vicki will help you determine the proper size and walk you through all of the steps from cutting out the pattern to finishing your jacket and she will share construction tips to make your jacket look professional - not homemade.
The class will consist of two sessions. Wednesday
evening Vicki will be available one-on-one to help you plan your jacket
fabrics, size and closure method and determine your final supplies list.
The all-day Saturday session is to cut out and construct the jacket.
