Beachcomber Quilted Jacket - Oct 31, 2026 01:00 pm
A cute jacket to show the world that you are a quilter! The pattern and “Batting” is a crewneck sweatshirt (but you would never guess it). Lining is optional, but this will be a great opportunity to try the technique if you have never lined anything before. We will include some elementary fitting instructions if you have never sewn clothing. The pattern includes piecing instructions for a variety of beautiful stars…but the first class will generate more ideas for alternative designs.A cute jacket to show the world that you are a quilter!
