Advanced Beginner - Intro to quilting - T-shirt quilt
Do you have a stack of old t-shirts filled with memories? Turn them into a one-of-a-kind quilted keepsake! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the essential skills and techniques to transform t-shirt remnants into a quilted throw, wall hanging, or pillow. *We don’t teach how to sew in this class. You should have beginner sewing experience as well as a sewing machine at home because you will have some sewing homework. What to Bring: At least 12 t-shirts (enough for a 24” x 24” pillow or wall hanging) If making a throw/lap quilt, plan to use 20-40 t-shirts, depending on how large each piece is cut. For the backing you'll need approximately 48" x 60" fabric but you don't need this during the first class and you can talk to Jeanine, your instructor, about it. Class Breakdown: Class 1 (3 hours): Determine how large to cut each t-shirt and prep fabric Apply iron-on interfacing for stability Arrange colors and sizes for a balanced design Begin sewing prepared pieces together Plan how
