Get Going Sewing Quilted Jackets with Fit for Art
Friday, October 9 & Saturday, October 10 from 10:30 am – 4:30 pm each day Register on the Artistic Artifacts website - link below.
With their book “Sewing Quilted Patchwork Jackets: Four Approaches, Ten Distinctive Designs, Two Downloadable Patterns” by Rae Cumbie and Carrie Emerson of Fit for Art Patterns as your bible, enjoy two inspiring days in the Artistic Artifacts classroom as you choose a design, fit, fabric and all the details for your own quilted jacket or one to be given as a gift.
Plan to spend the first day working on a mock-up if you have not sewn with Fit for Art’s jacket patterns before. We will finish the day with a discussion of the jacket of your dreams and get right to it on day two. Whether you are sewing a kids or adult jacket or vest, you might not get finished, but you will be on your way to a fabulous quilted coat. We will wrap up the second day looking at seams and finishes to help you construct a great garment that will last a lifetime! Quilted Jackets are a huge trend right now — make your own!
