Come make your next favorite jacket with those previously sewn orphan blocks lying around. Instructor Tanya Ehrsam will guide you in using those leftovers to make something stylish and functional. You could also use a layer cake pack of fabric, or a quilt top you haven't sewn together yet. We'll add an oversized sweatshirt and make the comfiest, coolest jacket all your friends will want.

Students will spend this two-session course deconstructing a sweatshirt and layering their block choices to assemble and add structure to create a flattering jacket fit. Students will need the equivalent of 3-4 yards of total fabric to finish their jackets. Please bring your sewing machine, coordinating quilt blocks/layer cake, and coordinating thread to the first class session. Patterns and instruction will be provided. If you do not have a machine, please contact Art Reach and we may be able to provide one.

This two-session course will be held Tuesday, April 22 from 4:30-6:30 and Saturday, April 26 from noon-4 pm in the Idonea Hersee Classroom at Art Reach, 111 E. Broadway in Mount Pleasant.

Recommended ages: 16 and up
