Description
Upcycle your favourite hoodie, t-shirt, jean jacket, or tote bag with a custom 10-inch quilt block.
The class will include sewing and learning how to sew a Constellation quilt block.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the full process from start to finish: how to accurately cut your fabrics, piece your block, and applique it neatly onto the item you’ve brought. This class is a great way to refresh an old garment while building confidence in both piecing and applique techniques.
