SUMMARY:Quilt Coat Workshop: My Sewing Supplies (Sylvania)
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n2 day workshop \nSaturday and Sunday 5 and 6 July \n10am – 4pm each day \n  \nSkill level: Basic skills to advanced. Students must be confident in using sewing patterns and machines. The quilt must be quilted prior to the class. Your own sewing machine is required. \nLearn how to confidently transform a quilt or quilted panels into a quilt coat. \nIf you’ve got any quilts that no longer spark joy\, turn them into a coat! If you have one that sparks a lot of joy and you want it always with you\, turn it into a coat!! Or want to be warm and cosy in the latest cottagecore trend? \nIn this workshop you will learn how to transform your quilts into cosy coats using a pattern suitable for most sizes. You can use a completed quilt\, pre-quilted fabric or specifically make quilted panels according to the coat pattern requirements. \nLearn how to choose the right pattern\, how quilting and wadding can affect drape\, how to cut pattern pieces including collar\, hood and pocket options if applicable. You’ll also learn how to sew together a quilt coat\, the technique of adding bias-binding to seams and see demonstrations of buttonhole and press stud closures. You will leave with a completed quilt coat with possibly some binding to stitch at home. \nThis is a great opportunity to repurpose those orphan blocks and unfinished projects. If you need us to professionally quilt your tops / fabric please let us know as soon as possible so that we can schedule you into the queue. (This would be an additional fee) \nBy the end of this workshop students should have a constructed a quilt coat\, some binding may need to be done at home. \nStudents need to bring: \n\nSewing machine in good working order. 1/4 inch and walking foot to suit.\nA quilt with a minimum of 60″ x 60″ usable space OR pre-quilted fabric of the same size OR quilted panels pre-cut according to the pattern requirements. 70 x 70 inches if you would like pockets\, a hood\, a longer length or if you would like a size 18 or greater\n6m premade 1″ bias binding; store bought or handmade with 2″ strips\nHeavy Jeans or size 90-100 Superior Topstitch needles\nSewing notions including coordinating thread\nFabric scissors\, wonder clips\, pins\, fabric markers\nRotary cutter and mat\nCoat pattern\, with pieces traced and cut out in full onto Trace & Toile or similar to your size.\nRecommended patterns are:\n\nTamarack Jacket by Grainline Studios\nChore Coat by Patchwork & Poodles\nElemental Coat by Crinkle Dreams\nWildwood Jacket by Helen’s Closet.\n\n\n\nStudents will need to bring their own pattern to class\, These are not included in the fee. \nIf you are making a quilt for this purpose a backing (lining) that is more light weight such as a cotton sateen / lawn gives a nicer\, less bulky fit. \nWadding  – be aware the thicker the wadding the bulkier your quilt / jacket will be. You need to be aware of this for binding your seams. We also ask that you consider the look on your body so that you can get your desired result. \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
