In this sit-and-sew workshop, you will learn how to remodel a purchased sweatshirt into an artistic tailored jacket. The remodeling includes fitting, a great in-seam, shaped pocket and an easy binding to finish the edges. You will decorate the jacket using 4 different fabric manipulation techniques and some decorative quilted top stitching with metallic thread. You will learn to make lined prairie points, 3-D prairie points, striking tucked squares, and stacked, peek-a-boo squares. Utilizing these techniques allows for a wide variety of design options to create a very wearable arty jacket that you will enjoy wearing on all but the hottest days.
