Turning a quilt into a jacket or hoodie has been a trend but this pattern has you make the quilt pieces and then sew the hoodie or sweatshirt from it, rather than converting an existing quilt.
I have yet to make this pattern and thought a sew-along would be fun – so we can learn together.
This pattern – the Lexi Hoodie – from Melly & me – will be available soon here at the Sewing Hive.
I will be breaking this up into multiple sections and you will be able to add one or all to your class list as you feel the need for assistance or just to join me in the process. There will be time between each session, and you can join at any time. If we need to add more sessions later, we can do so. If you want to join from the beginning, the sessions will be:
Session 1 – cutting quilt pieces
Session 2- piecing
Session 3 – quilting
Session 4 – cutting hoodie pieces
Sessions 5 & 6 – sewing the hoodie
If you miss a session, you can come to the next one and pick up where you left off. I’m assuming that you (and I) will need to do some amount of work on our own outside of the classes.
If you have a sewing machine, please bring it to use, or rent one of ours here.
You may want to invest in a ¼” piecing foot for your machine (note we do NOT have this foot available at the studio)
You may want to invest in a walking foot (for the quilting portion).These can be expensive, but there are generic ones available.There are a couple of these available at the studio, but we can’t ensure that they will work with your machine.
Other tools needed: rotary cutter, mat, rulers, scissors, marking pen, thread for both piecing and quilting (may be the same or different).
Each session will be $20 per person.
As we are heading into the summer months (hopefully!) this will be a fall project, but you may want to plan ahead to get the pattern and your supplies. First session will be July 30.
